10_BETA: Nice QOL improvements to the installer
Hi all,
It's been a while since I've run the NetBSD installer, so I don't now
how recent the changes I've seen are, but I do like them.
I was installing on amd64 and the installer let me choose either MBR or
GPT, which is nice. The NUC I was installing on is old enough that it
can only UEFI boot from wd0 and some OSes don't allow a UEFI install
from a BIOS booted USB installed.
I also noticed that the installer knew where the install files were
locally on the USB stick and just installed them. Is that new?
I specifically chose a NUC without a hardware RNG so that I could test a
tweak to the /etc/rc.d/entropy script and was pleasantly surprised to
see that the installer detected this and applied a giant clue hammer.
That was very nice.
Cheers,
Lloyd
