NOTE ANY CHANGES YOU MAKE TO THE BOOTBLOCKS HERE.  The format of this
file is important.  Make sure the current version number is on line 6.

1.0:	New semantics for finding the kernel, new boot.
0.8:	Set/getenv & cia, copyin/out.
0.7:	Supports large KVM
0.6:	Increased dictionary size -- supports loader.4th
0.5:	First release version
0.2:	Initial integration with BTX
0.1:	Initial i386 version, inspiration and some structure from the
	NetBSD version.

This is the new unified bootstrap, sometimes known previously as the 'three-stage' bootstrap. There are a number of caveats with the code in its current state: - The i386 bootstrap only supports booting from a floppy. - The kernel and kld do not yet know how to deal with the extended information and module summary passed in. - PnP-based autodetection and demand loading of modules is not implemented. - i386 ELF kernel loading is not ready yet. - The i386 bootstrap is loaded via an ugly blockmap. On the alpha, both net- and disk-booting (SRM console machines only) is supported. No blockmaps are used by this code. Obtained from: Parts from the NetBSD/i386 standalone bootstrap. 1998-08-21 03:17:42 +00:00

Bump up version as a result of the recent changes to kernel path, and boot-conf&boot semantic changes. Also, make it 1.0. Reminded by: peter (even though he doesn't know it) 2000-09-10 13:51:44 +00:00			`1.0: New semantics for finding the kernel, new boot.`
Bump loader version due to copyin, copyout, setenv&cia. 2000-06-07 22:12:21 +00:00			`0.8: Set/getenv & cia, copyin/out.`
Version bump: kvm & dictionary size. 1999-03-17 23:05:46 +00:00			`0.7: Supports large KVM`

Bumb up loader's version. Reviewed by: Michael Smith <msmith@freebsd.org> 1999-02-08 04:14:31 +00:00			`0.5: First release version`
Initial integration of the i386 bootloader and BTX. - Discard large amounts of BIOS-related code in favour of the more compact BTX vm86 interface. - Build the loader module as ELF, although the resulting object is a.out, make gensetdefs 32/64-bit sensitive and use a single copy of it. - Throw away installboot, as it's no longer required. - Use direct bcopy operations in the i386_copy module, as BTX maps the first 16M of memory. Check operations against the detected size of actual memory. 1998-09-17 23:52:16 +00:00			`0.2: Initial integration with BTX`
