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.

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.
Catch the netboot version up to the main loader. This is pretty bogus. All the alpha loaders should use the same version file. Also, we might should merge the various loaders (cdboot, loader, netboot) into one loader that can boot off of disks, CD's, and network devices. The version bump is needed so the FICL scripts won't bomb out thinking that the netboot binary is too old.

standalone, but enormously modified.
