Subject: [PATCH 035/143] Ignore EPERM when modifying kern.geom.debugflags
39700a
39700a
Many tests fail when run as a non-root user on FreeBSD.  The failures
39700a
all amount to an inability to open files using grub_util_fd_open,
39700a
because we cannot set the kern.geom.debugflags sysctl.  This sysctl is
39700a
indeed important to allow us to do such things as installing GRUB to the
39700a
MBR, but if we need to do that and can't then we will get an error
39700a
later.  Enforcing it here is unnecessary and prevents otherwise
39700a
perfectly reasonable operations.

39700a
+	EPERM when modifying kern.geom.debugflags.  It is only a problem for
39700a

39700a
