dc8be6a8f5 - Add a new command 'lsdev' to list devices which might be likely to host
filesystems.
 - New 'help' command and data in the help.* files (not yet installed),
   provides topic and subtopic help, indexes, etc.
 - Don't crash if the user tries to set an invalid console.  Be helpful
   instead.
 - Expand tabs (badly) on the i386 video console.
 - Some minor cosmetic changes.

6e9108b6ac Probe all consoles, not just the first. It doesn't make a lot of
difference, but might later on when we implement some sort of multi-head
console mode.  Select a console after probing them all.
Don't strdup a potentially NULL return from getenv().
If we don't select an active console, choose the first regardless.
Call the console init function, at startup time and on a manual change.
The env_setenv() function needs EV_VOLATILE because it's pointing to
data that isn't malloc'ed and will cause a fault if it's freed later.

e12d0ec43a console.c
Allow the MI code to override the preferred console (eg. so that
	an RB_SERIAL flag from the i386 boot2 can override the default
	first active console)

isapnp.c
	Use the standard format for ISA PnP IDs.

pnp.c
	Allow trailing comments on lines, be less picky about line
	contents.

ls.c
	Cosmetic error message fix.

panic.c
	Print the right arguments.

c2f9d95de5 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.
