some reason, mboot.bootinst is not initialized to NULL at the beginning
of the program, then the last commit to this would try to free whatever
bogus address is in it.
- Restore the behavior of free()'ing the mboot.bootinst buffer after we
abuse it to determine the sector size of the disk (as clearly noted in
the comments). Properly fix the double free() bug by setting the pointer
to NULL after we free it.
* Remove the text which states only devices with minor number 1 can be used

* Mention that dumpon(8) cannot be used to capture dumps from panics during
kernel initialization.

The first one got screwed up by me because of rev 1.33, which was
incorrectly merged into my patches by myself, and so Ruslan (maintainer)
asked me to back them out.
Ruslan was ok with the second one, but since it needs rework, it'll be
readded later, when it doesn't conflict with the backout of the first one.

address on an interface. This basically allows you to do what my
little setmac module/utility does via ifconfig. This involves the
following changes:
socket.h: define SIOCSIFLLADDR
if.c: add support for SIOCSIFLLADDR, which resets the values in
the arpcom struct and sockaddr_dl for the specified interface.
Note that if the interface is already up, we need to down/up
it in order to program the underlying hardware's receive filter.
ifconfig.c: add lladdr command
ifconfig.8: document lladdr command
You can now force the MAC address on any ethernet interface to be
whatever you want. (The change is not sticky across reboots of course:
we don't actually reprogram the EEPROM or anything.) Actually, you
can reprogram the MAC address on other kinds of interfaces too; this
shouldn't be ethernet-specific (though at the moment it's limited to
6 bytes of address data).
Nobody ran up to me and said "this is the politically correct way to
do this!" so I don't want to hear any complaints from people who think
I could have done it more elegantly. Consider yourselves lucky I didn't
do it by having ifconfig tread all over /dev/kmem.

This command shows a minor problem: it requires that the device nodes

camcontrol.c: New format functionality. Note that unlike the

it necessary to get confirmation from the user

is using it. If that changes, it should be

data structures.
