Subject: [PATCH 035/143] Ignore EPERM when modifying kern.geom.debugflags
0dc71c
0dc71c
Many tests fail when run as a non-root user on FreeBSD.  The failures
0dc71c
all amount to an inability to open files using grub_util_fd_open,
0dc71c
because we cannot set the kern.geom.debugflags sysctl.  This sysctl is
0dc71c
indeed important to allow us to do such things as installing GRUB to the
0dc71c
MBR, but if we need to do that and can't then we will get an error
0dc71c
later.  Enforcing it here is unnecessary and prevents otherwise
0dc71c
perfectly reasonable operations.
