CVS log for install/hd.c

Commented out debugging messages.

Cutting out some dead code.  This shouldn't break anything -- at least
it doesn't appear to do so.

This should fix the last of the known issues.  Problems with multiple
drives showing up as having the same structure were fixed yesterday.
Geometry information may still be fictitious and/or garbage, but at
least the total size will be right, as this is now being obtained
from pdisk.  I will build a vmlinux+installer from this code base as
soon as possible.

This should fix all problems except for a very strange quirk if the
partition type field for some partition contains a space.  In that
case, that partition will have kind of a weird mac_type field, and thus
the type column in the partition table display will also be weird.  Oh,
and I'll rip out the printf's and 10 second delays in a minute.

Some changes to the installer.  I haven't had a chance to test these to
see if they work, but I want to make sure that they're committed first,
just in case this attempt hoses up my machine.  (I'm test-running the
installer on a live machine, so....)


dgatwood@mklinux.org

A fix for cases where pdisk lists partitions out of order.  Should really
be fixed in pdisk, but... I'm sure as heck not going to start hacking in
_that_ code....  ;-)

Note that the code just takes advantage of the partition number stored
from earlier.  No idea why I didn't do this originally....

These changes _still_ don't make IDE work as an install target, but it's
a heck of a lot closer.  Now it's getting as far as letting you pdisk the
partitions, but when you are supposed to configure what gets mounted where,
it never gets to the screen that asks for mount points and stuff.  That
should be the last major hurdle, AFAICT.

BTW, IDE drives should already work fine as an install source.

Okay, forget this bull....  The installer code to read the MacOS partition
table didn't work, so it's gone.  The installer now calls pdisk with a
routine I wrote this evening.  Enough is enough.  Time to stop using cheap
hacks and start really fixing things.

BTW, I have to figure out what options are required for DHCP.  I tried
a pruned build and ended up with DHCP not working, but it works fine from
the installer within a "normal" linux server....  Just glad I don't have
to fix DHCP again.

Stock LinuxPPC installer source checkin.
