5a4dffac - Fix scripted installation from media without local distfiles.

Fri, 28 May 2021 13:53:42 +0000

Fix scripted installation from media without local distfiles.The bsdinstall script target did not have the infrastructure to fetchdistfiles from a remote server the way the interactive installer doeson e.g. bootonly media. Solve this by factoring out the parts of theinstaller that deal with fetching missing distributions into a newinstall stage called 'fetchmissingdists', which is called by both theinteractive and scripted installer frontends.In the course of these changes, cleaned up a few other issues withthe fetching of missing distribution files and added a warning iffetching the MANIFEST file, which is used to verify the integrity ofthe distribution files. We should at some point add cryptographicsignatures to MANIFEST so that it can be fetched safely if not presenton the install media (which it is for bootonly media).Initial patch by: Vinícius ZavamPR: 255659, 250928Reviewed by: dteskeMFC after: 4 weeksDifferential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D27121(cherry picked from commit 40923b0c81cc2c151388ec5ead59f4bed89ac432) List of files: /freebsd-13.1/usr.sbin/bsdinstall/scripts/auto

On PS3 and PowerNV, which are booted using Linux kexec from petitbootrather than by loader(8), install the kernel and the rest of /boot to aFAT partition and set up the appropriate petitboot configuration filethere.The new bootconfig installer stage can do platform-dependent modificationsmore complex than partition layout and installation of boot blocks and canbe used to (as here) set up some special configuration files, run efibootmgr,or boot0cfg.MFC after: 1 month List of files: /freebsd-13.1/usr.sbin/bsdinstall/scripts/auto

bsdinstall: Suggest the GPT+Active workaround on Dell T5810The Dell Precision Tower 5810 fails to boot from GPT in Legacy/BIOS modewithout the Active flag in the Protective MBR. Suggest the workaroundduring installation.Since an increasing number of Dell systems exhibit this behavior,I imagine all Dells past a certain date will do so. I would liketo suggest the workaround for all Dells with a BIOS date of, say,2014 or later, but I would need to test a variety of systems beforecommitting such a change.Reviewed by: allanjude, dteskeMFC after: 5 daysRelnotes: We should probably suggest using GPT+Active on "recent" Dells.Sponsored by: Dell Inc.Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D4075 List of files: /freebsd-13.1/usr.sbin/bsdinstall/scripts/auto
