8373917257 Rename the file used to specify the nextboot to make it clear that this
is a loader configuration file and can be used for more than just a
kernel name.

1a923a14f4 A long, long time ago, msmith introduced vfs.root.mountfrom
loader variable, which let users specify the root mount point
the exact way one does after booting the kernel.

Let's take this opportunity to document it...

1de372dcd4 Add a -k option to reboot to specify the kernel to boot next time
around.  If the kernel boots successfully, the record of this kernel
is erased, it is intended to be a one-shot option for testing
kernels.

This could be improved by having the loader remove the record of
the next kernel to boot, it is currently removed in /etc/rc immediately
after disks are mounted r/w.

I'd like to MFC this before the 4.6 freeze unless there is violent
objection.

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.

1611ea8727 Add S4BIOS sleep (BIOS hibernation) and DSDT overriding support.
- Add S4BIOS sleep implementation.  This will works well if MIB
   hw.acpi.s4bios is set (and of course BIOS supports it and hibernation
   is enabled correctly).
 - Add DSDT overriding support which is submitted by takawata originally.
   If loader tunable acpi_dsdt_load="YES" and DSDT file is set to
   acpi_dsdt_name (default DSDT file name is /boot/acpi_dsdt.aml),
   ACPI CA core loads DSDT from given file rather than BIOS memory block.
   DSDT file can be generated by iasl in ports/devel/acpicatools/.
 - Add new files so that we can add our proposed additional code to Intel
   ACPI CA into these files temporary.  They will be removed when
   similar code is added into ACPI CA officially.

3851401454 Now I see the error of my ways.
Previous revision of this file changed the "boot" commands to take
no arguments from the stack. This is only valid in the case where
a kernel has not been loaded. In that case, load_kernel_and_modules
will be called, which takes a list of arguments from the stack.

When a kernel is presently loaded, though, the list of arguments must
be passed to the boot command, which was the behaviour before the last
revision.

Fix things for both cases.

7b9e034490 Both boot and boot-conf were using a different algorithm from the one
used by start to find the kernel. Fix this.

Also, boot would proceed immediately in the absence of a path as
argument. Check first if a kernel has already been loaded, and, if
not, fall back to load kernel&modules behavior.

Some further factorizing. I deem this code to be mostly readable by
now! :-)

1cb190742f Factorize, reorganize, and move code around.
The boot-conf and boot code had various bugs, and some of it was big,
ugly, unwieldy, and, sometimes, plain incorrect. I'm just about
completely replaced these ugly parts with something much more manageable.

Minor changes were made to the well-factorized parts of it, to accomodate
the new code.

Of note:

	* make sure boot-conf has the exact same behavior wrt boot order
as start.

	* Correct both boot and boot-conf so they'll work correctly when
compiled in, as they both had some bugs, minor and major.

	* Remove all the crud from loader.4th back into support.4th, for
the first time since boot-conf was first improved. Hurray!

I'm fairly satisfied with the code at this time. Time to see about those
man pages...

23aecb0109 Upon reflection, I decided that bootfile must have priority over kernel
as the kernel name. The one very unfortunate consequence is that kernel
as an absolute path loses the priority. It will only be tried after
/boot/${kernel}/${bootfile}. I'll see what can be done about it later.
