15c99149f8 Boot block cleanup.
o Fix the keyboard probe to properly wait for the ready bit before
sending a command to the keyboard controller.  This should avoid the
problems some people are experiencing where the boot blocks hang the
system during keyboard probe.  (It does solve it for me.)

o Fix a bug that effectively prevented the boot blocks from ever
passing control to the serial console.  [while(--retries) instead of
while(retries--)]

o Gratuitously reduced the keyboard probe timeout from 500 to 5
seconds. :)

o Introduced a new option ``FORCE_COMCONSOLE'' as a commented-out
example in the Makefile, to force the usage of a serial console
regardless of a keyboard being connected or not.

o Moved all external declarations to boot.h, declared all functions
there, and ANSIfied all function declarations/definitions.
(printf() remains bogus, however -- i'm too lazy to fix this.)
We're in the ninetees, dunno why we should still support compilers
from the 70's.

b95ed23990 Fixed bootblocks to work with FreeBSD 2.0
1) Fixed up some header locations
2) Replaced list of boot files with /kernel
3) Changed disklabel use in Makefile to conform to 4.4
4) Added size command in Makefile to get close estimate of bootblock
   sizes. Total size of text and data must be below 64K, slightly
   overestimated since a.out header subsequently gets stripped.
5) Various buffer sizes are set to 8192 bytes in sys.c. In 4.4 MAXBSIZE
   is set to 64K which is too big for the bootblocks to deal with.

dd05fde699 Removed all patch kit headers, sccsid and rcsid strings, put $Id$ in, some
minor cleanup.  Added $Id$ to files that did not have any version info, etc

f7710986e2 New boot blocks, from Bruce Evans, and NetBSD fixes. Allows kernel to
be loaded above 1MB.  Same boot code for floppies now.  Speed improvements.
etc etc etc. (I don't have much history on this, but then have been tested)
