the need to specify the unit number of unwired devices. ie: instead
of saying "device fxp0" we can say "device fxp" which is much closer
to what it actually means. The former (fxp0) implied something about
reserving the 0th unit, but it does not and never did - it was a
figment of config(8)'s imagination that we had to work around..
"device fxp0" simply means "compile in the fxp device driver", so we
may as well just write it as "device fxp" which is closer to what it
really means.
Doing this also saves us from filling up the ioconf.c tables with
meaningless entries.
instead of -2. This (I believe) caused static wirings to not match.
This should fix Bill Pechter's problem but we'll see.

This would mean that we could move files.alpha, files.i386, files.pc98
etc all next to conf/files, and the various Makefiles next to each
other. This should go a long way towards committers "seeing" the
Alpha etc stuff and remembering to update that too as it would be
right next to the i386 config files. Note this does not include
the GENERIC etc files as they can't be shared. I haven't actually
moved the files, but the support is here for it. It still supports
the per-machine conf directories so that folks working on a new arch
can just distribute a subdir of files.
- redo the "at" configuration system so that it just syntax checks
to make sure the device you're configuring something "at" appears to
exist. Nuke a bunch of complexity that was responsible for creating
"clones" of wildcard devices and some wierd stuff in a few places
including the scbus config tables etc.
- merge "controller" and "device" - there is no difference as far as
the kernel is concernend, it's just something there to make life
difficult for config file writers. "controller" is now an alias for
"device".
- emit full scsi config into the resource tables. We could trivially
change cam to use that rather than it's own "special" table for wiring
and static configuration. ATA could use this too for static wiring.
- try and emulate some of the quirks of the old system where it made
sense. Some were too strange though and I'd be very suprised if they
were features and not outright bugs. nexus handling is still strange.
One thing in particular is that some of the wierd entries in the
newbus devtables is now gone as it was a quirk side effect of the
wildcard/question-mark cloning above.
GENERIC and LINT still build etc.
known option, unknown options following the known option were not
removed. Now I think only unknown options in unknown options files
are not removed. This is harmless because unknown options files should
not be used, but removing the files would be cleaner.
files in a 'files.XXX' file, config allows non-FreeBSD source files
with the same name as a FreeBSD source file to override the latter,
and in this situation it issues a warning.
However, if one of the user-specified files is actually a FreeBSD
source file (perhaps your kernel has some custom option that requires
that file), config mistakenly thinks it's a completely new file
and goes ahead and overrides all previous information for that file
(and issues the warning).
Fix this.

directory than the default one. If the option is not given, then the
output of config is exactly as before. Only when an alternate output
directory has been specified will config modify its behavior.
Additional changed:
o Remove the now conflicting and unused NODEV define. It
conflicts with NODEV in sys/param.h.
o Rename the now conflicting MACHINE token to ARCH. It
conflicts with MACHINE in sys/param.h.
o Fix some easy style bugs.
o Fix some easy grammar bugs in the manpage.

'makeoptions KERNEL=kernelname'. Warn about any trailing stuff as it's
not handled here. This is a simple bandaid, hopefully to head off some
complaints from certain people.
- make this work: options FOO123=456 *without quotes*
- grumble (but accept) vector xxxintr, and tty/net/bio/cam flags.
- complain if a device is specified twice (eg: 2 x psm0)
- don't require quotes around: port IO_COM2
- recognize negative numbers. (ie: options CAM_DEBUG_UNIT=-1)
- GC some more unused stuff (we don't have composite disks from config(8)).
- various other nits (snprintf paranoia etc)
I zapped the MACHINE_MIPS stuff, it isn't likely to be useful apart from
recognition of the machine name. It would be reasonable to expect new
ports would look something like the alpha/i386 from a config perspective.
only worked for configurations with "swap on generic".
usr.sbin/config/config.y:
- ignore all "swap [on] device ...' specifications except for
warning about them. They haven't done anything related to swap
for almost 4 years, and were previously silently ignored,
except for "swap on generic" which stopped swap${KERNEL}.c
from being generated. Code to support swapping is now deader
than before.
usr.sbin/config/mkswapconf.c:
- don't generate a dummy setconf() function in swap${KERNEL}.c.
sys/i386/conf/files.i386:
- swapgeneric.c is now standard. It should be merged into autoconf.c
so that it doesn't conflict with swap${KERNEL}.c for kernels named
"generic".
sys/i386/i386/autoconf.c:
- don't call setroot() for mfs roots. Since setroot() doesn't do anything
harmful, this was just a waste of time, except possibly for booting with
-a it may have helped prevent an undesireable call to setconf() by
finding a bogus rootdev.
- honor -a for ffs roots. -a now overrides all other ways of specifying
the root device. Previously, -r had precedence over -a, and the -a
handling was usually a no-op.
- don't honor -a for non-ffs roots, since it would currently just get in
the way of a clean panic.
sys/i386/i386/swapgeneric.c:
- don't declare things that are now always declared in swap${KERNEL}.c.
Don't decide things that are now decided in autoconf.c. Code to
support the "generic" case is now dead instead of useless.

Modify targets for debug kernels: when -g was specified, make will
now build a debug kernel called kernel.debug, and create a stripped
version called kernel at the same time. The two targets install and
install.debug are otherwise unchanged.
Requested-by: dillon
Update man page accordingly.
2. Config complains if you use -g:
Debugging is enabled by default, there is no ned to specify the -g option
3. Config warns you if you don't use -s:
Building kernel with full debugging symbols. Do
"config -s BSD" for historic partial symbolic support.
To install the debugging kernel, do make install.debug
(BSD was the name of the config file I used; I print out the same
name).
4. Modify Makefile.i386, Makefile.alpha, Makefile.pc98 and config to
work if a kernel name other than 'kernel' is specified. This is
not absolutely necessary, but useful, and it was relatively easy.
I now have a kernel called /crapshit :-)
5. Modify Makefile.i386, Makefile.alpha, Makefile.pc98 "clean" target
to remove both the debug and normal kernel.
6. Modify all to install the stripped kernel by default and the debug
kernel if you enter "make install.debug".
7. Update version number of Makefiles and config.
