Farewall, sysinstall! You served us well for many years, but 10.0 is one

digit beyond your time.

Various sysinstall dependencies (e.g. libftpio, libdisk, libodialog, etc.)
will be cleaned up in coming days. Some will take longer than others due to
a few other consumers (tzsetup and sade).

-Boot Manager Selection:
------------------------
-
-If you wish to switch between multiple operating systems on your
-machine, or if you are trying to install FreeBSD on a drive other than
-your 1st drive, then you must install a boot manager.  In the case
-where you wish to boot off an alternate drive, it should also be noted
-that you still need to install a boot manager on the FIRST drive!
-Even if you do not intend to create a FreeBSD partition on that drive
-(e.g. it's being wholly used by something else), the boot manager
-still needs to reside on the first disk in order to function as a
-"redirector" for the boot process.
-
-To do this, simply select your 1st drive in the drive selection menu
-and when the partition editor comes up, don't make any changes - just
-(Q)uit.  At the boot manager menu which follows, select the first
-option (install a boot manager) and then proceed to setup the other
-drive(s) for FreeBSD as normal.
-
-It should also be noted that "operating systems" such as Windows 95
-will completely overwrite your boot manager without so much as a
-polite "may I please destroy your boot manager?" prompt if you make
-the mistake of installing them second.  If this happens to you after
-FreeBSD is already installed, all is not lost!  Simply revisit your
-FreeBSD distribution directory and look for a tools/ subdirectory, in
-which you'll find "bootinst.exe" and "boot.bin".  To reinstall, simply
-say "bootinst boot.bin" while in the tools/ subdirectory.
-
-
-If you see the boot manager displaying ``F?'' when you try to come up
-for the first time and it refuses to change, no matter how often you
-whap on the function key assigned to FreeBSD, then you have a geometry
-mismatch problem and you should read the next section for important
-information on how to prevent that exact problem from happening!
-
-
-Geometry Translation / Sharing the disk(s) with another OS:
-----------------------------------------------------------
-
-If you are going to actually install some portion of FreeBSD on a
-drive then PLEASE BE VERY CERTAIN that the Geometry reported in the
-Partition Editor is the correct one for your drive and controller
-combination!
-
-IDE drives often have a certain geometry set during the PC BIOS setup,
-or (in the case of larger IDE drives) have their geometry "translated"
-by either the IDE controller or a special boot-sector translation
-utility such as that by OnTrack Systems.  In these cases, knowing the
-correct geometry gets even more complicated as it's not something you
-can easily tell by looking at the drive or the PC BIOS setup.  The
-best way of verifying that your geometry is being correctly calculated
-in such situations is to boot DOS (from the hard disk, not a floppy!)
-and run the ``pfdisk'' utility provided in the tools/ subdirectory of
-the FreeBSD CDROM or FTP site.  It will report the geometry that DOS
-sees, which is generally the correct one.
-
-If you have no DOS partition sharing the disk at all, then you may
-find that you have better luck with Geometry detection if you create a
-very small DOS partition first, before installing FreeBSD.  Once
-FreeBSD is installed you can always delete it again if you need the
-space.
-
-It's actually not a bad idea (believe it or not) to have a small
-bootable DOS partition on your FreeBSD machine anyway: Should the
-machine become unstable or exhibit strange behavior at some point in
-the future (which is not uncommon behavior for PC hardware!) you can
-then at least use DOS for installing and running one of the
-commercially available system diagnostic utilities.
-
-IMPORTANT NOTE:
-
-Any root partition you try to boot from must also reside below the
-1024th cylinder.  If you're using a translated geometry then this is
-probably not a problem, but if you are using a native disk geometry
-which exceeds 1024 cylinders then you could have a failure to boot if
-you end up installing a root partition (or even just the kernel file
-in a root partition) out past cylinder 1024.  If you are trying to
-share your first disk with FreeBSD and another OS which was installed
-previously, you are particularly susceptible to this problem and should
-check your disk addresses very carefully.
-
-If you find that you have insufficient space below cylinder 1024 to
-make a root partition for FreeBSD (and again, this ONLY applies to the
-root partition - once FreeBSD's kernel is loaded, it doesn't care
-about the geometry issues) then you will probably need to install on a
-completely different disk (see the boot manager section above) or
-resize your existing partitions so that both operating systems can
-have boot partitions below cylinder 1024.
-
-You may blame IBM for the limitations of a 10 bit cylinder address.
-"No one will have a disk with more than 1024 cylinders." I'm sure
-someone said.
