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.
- Add 'fwrite' and 'fseek' words for writing to and seeking on files. - Change the 'fopen' keyword to accept a mode parameter. Note that this will break existing 4th scripts that use fopen. Thus, the loader version has been bumped and loader.4th has been changed to check for a sufficient version on i386 and alpha. Be sure that you either do a full world build or install or full build and install of sys/boot after this since loader.old won't work with the new 4th files and vice versa.

1.2: New calling conventions for fopen.
Bump up version as a result of the recent changes to kernel path, and boot-conf&boot semantic changes. Reminded by: peter (even though he doesn't know it)

1.1: New semantics for finding the kernel, new boot.
This is real released software, let people think that.

1.0: Released working DEC Alpha version.
Bump loader version due to FICL (duh!) and copyin, copyout, setenv&cia.

0.3: Set/getenv&cia, copyin/out.
0.2: FICL added to Alpha.

0.1: Initial i386 version, germinated from the NetBSD i386
standalone, but enormously modified.
