0889b9be41 - 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.

9714dd1a3a Bump up version as a result of the recent changes to kernel path,
and boot-conf&boot semantic changes.

Also, make it 1.0.

948486abe3 Initial integration of the i386 bootloader and BTX.
- Discard large amounts of BIOS-related code in favour of the more compact
   BTX vm86 interface.
 - Build the loader module as ELF, although the resulting object is a.out,
   make gensetdefs 32/64-bit sensitive and use a single copy of it.
 - Throw away installboot, as it's no longer required.
 - Use direct bcopy operations in the i386_copy module, as BTX
   maps the first 16M of memory.  Check operations against the
   detected size of actual memory.

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.
