40923b0c - 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 List of files: /freebsd-14.2/usr.sbin/bsdinstall/scripts/bootconfig

Restore /boot/efi to mtree.Instead of whether /boot/efi exists, which it now always does, includingon systems that don't and can't use EFI, use whether /boot/efi ispresent in fstab to signal to the installer that it is a valid ESP andshould be configured. This has essentially the same semantics, but allows/boot/efi to be created unconditionally.Reviewed by: bdragon, impTested by: bdragon (ppc64)MFC after: 3 daysDifferential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D29068 List of files: /freebsd-14.2/usr.sbin/bsdinstall/scripts/bootconfig

0b7472b3 - Mount the EFI system partition (ESP) on newly-installed systems.

Tue, 23 Feb 2021 21:16:52 +0000

Mount the EFI system partition (ESP) on newly-installed systems.Per hier(7), the ESP will be mounted at /boot/efi. On UFS systems,any existing ESP will be reused and mounted there; otherwise, a new onewill be made. On ZFS systems, space for an ESP is allocated on all disksin the root pool, but only the partition actually used to boot is set upand mounted.This makes future upgrades of the EFI loader easier (upgrade scripts canjust change /boot/efi) and also greatly simplifies the parts of theinstaller involved in initialization of the ESP. It also makes theinstaller's behavior correspond to the documentation in hier(7).Reviewed by: imp, tsoomeMFC after: 1 weekRelnotes: yesDifferential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D28897 List of files: /freebsd-14.2/usr.sbin/bsdinstall/scripts/bootconfig

c6d56081 - Initial support for implementing the bootXXX.efi workaround

Fri, 09 Oct 2020 00:16:26 +0000

Initial support for implementing the bootXXX.efi workaroundToo many version of UEFI firmware (so far only confirmed on amd64)don't really support efibootmgr selection of boot. That's the mostreliable, when it works, since there's no guesswork. However, many donot save, unmolested, the variables that efibootmgr sets, so as afallback we also install loader.efi as bootXXX.efi (where XXX iseither aa64 or x64) if it doesn't already exist in /efi/boot on theESP. The standard only defines this for removable devices, but it'salmost ubiquitously used as a fallback. Many BIOSes implement a driveselection feature that takes over the efibootmgr protocol, rendineringit useless (either generally, or for those vendors not on the shortlist). bootxxx.efi works around this. However, we don't install itunconditionally there, as that breaks some popular multi-boot setups.MFC After: 1 weekDifferential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D26428 List of files: /freebsd-14.2/usr.sbin/bsdinstall/scripts/bootconfig

Mon, 31 Dec 2018 00:20:58 +0000

Fix ESP generation when using a gmirror, and when booting from RO mediumWhen using a gmirror, entries in /dev can be removed. So instead of usingkern.disks, get the list of disks from "gpart status -sg" instead.We assume that any 'efi' partition that can't be mounted as msdosfs shouldbe used as an ESP. However, the ESP on the CD/DVD can't be mounted read-writeand so was being treated as if unformatted. Try the mount as read-onlyinstead, to catch cases like this.Relnotes: yesSponsored by: NetflixDifferential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D18645 List of files: /freebsd-14.2/usr.sbin/bsdinstall/scripts/bootconfig
