place (sysinstall.h) when packages change rev.
Change the way that the routing daemon is configured entirely, to
placate Joerg. Also auto-load gated if it's specified, while we're at it.
This fixes the kernel panic when propagating userconfig changes to
arbitrary kernels.
Remove obsoleted `#include <tcl.h>' added a few <stdio.h> where
necessary.
Fix getting scsi bus information from an -incore kernel.
Turned on SAVE_USERCONFIG by default.
SLIP/PPP devices, putting them before the others in the network device
selection menu.
2. Change "Other" to "URL" so as not to conflict with the keyboard accellerator
for the "OK" button in FTP site selection menu.
3. Detect the NULL last symbol in the name list and initialize the other
members correctly.
First, change sysinstall and the Makefile rules to not build the kernel
nlist directly into sysinstall now. Instead, spit it out as an ascii
file in /stand and parse it from sysinstall later. This solves the chicken-n-
egg problem of building sysinstall into the fsimage before BOOTMFS is built
and can have its symbols extracted. Now we generate the symbol file in
release.8.
Second, add Poul-Henning's USERCONFIG_BOOT changes. These have two
effects:
1. Userconfig is always entered, rather than only after a -c
(don't scream yet, it's not as bad as it sounds).
2. Userconfig reads a message string which can optionally be
written just past the boot blocks. This string "preloads"
the userconfig input buffer and is parsed as user input.
If the first command is not "USERCONFIG", userconfig will
treat this as an implied "quit" (which is why you don't need
to scream - you never even know you went through userconfig
and back out again if you don't specifically ask for it),
otherwise it will read and execute the following commands
until a "quit" is seen or the end is reached, in which case
the normal userconfig command prompt will then be presented.
How to create your own startup sequences, using any boot.flp image
from the next snap forward (not yet, but soon):
% dd of=/dev/rfd0 seek=1 bs=512 count=1 conv=sync <<WAKKA_WAKKA_DOO
USERCONFIG
irq ed0 10
iomem ed0 0xcc000
disable ed1
quit
WAKKA_WAKKA_DOO
Third, add an intro screen to UserConfig so that users aren't just thrown
into this strange screen if userconfig is auto-launched. The default
boot.flp startup sequence is now, in fact, this:
USERCONFIG
intro
visual
(Since visual never returns, we don't need a following "quit").

and will be committed over the next few hours.

and use /dev/console.
I really think the proper test is to determine which device has been configured
to be the console (remember the RB_SERIAL flag?) and use it instead of always
trying to open /dev/ttyv0 first.
and the user inserts a floppy), read the config file to pre-define variables
for a custom installation.
[Note: I fixed one bug in LOAD_CONFIG_FILE code, but it's still not perfect.]
