0ac4013324 Change the following environment variables to kernel options:
bootp -> BOOTP
    bootp.nfsroot -> BOOTP_NFSROOT
    bootp.nfsv3 -> BOOTP_NFSV3
    bootp.compat -> BOOTP_COMPAT
    bootp.wired_to -> BOOTP_WIRED_TO

- i.e. back out the previous commit.  It's already possible to
pxeboot(8) with a GENERIC kernel.

59e1ebc9b5 Change the following kernel options to environment variables:
BOOTP -> bootp
    BOOTP_NFSROOT -> bootp.nfsroot
    BOOTP_NFSV3 -> bootp.nfsv3
    BOOTP_COMPAT -> bootp.compat
    BOOTP_WIRED_TO -> bootp.wired_to

This lets you PXE boot with a GENERIC kernel by putting this sort of thing
in loader.conf:

    bootp="YES"
    bootp.nfsroot="YES"
    bootp.nfsv3="YES"
    bootp.wired_to="bge1"

or even setting the variables manually from the OK prompt.

84344f9fbf Rename the kern.vm.kmem.size tunable to the more logical vm.kmem_size. To
assure backward compatibility (conditional on !BURN_BRIDGES), look it up
by its old name first, and log a warning (but accept the setting) if it
was found.  If both the old and new name are defined, the new name takes
precedence.

Also export vm.kmem_size as a read-only sysctl variable; I find it hard to
tune a parameter when I don't know its default value, especially when that
default value is computed at boot time.

6087c960b5 Document the tunable kern.ipc.nsfbufs in help.common and loader.8. Small
nearby grammar fixup that saves a line of display while in the loader

Fix device hints entry for disabling acpi(4).
This also should fix the arbitration with apm(4) when both drivers
are enabled.

Note that your /boot/device.hints needs to be updated if you want to
stop auto-loading acpi.ko or disable acpi(4).

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.

2f9e4e8025 Limit the amount of KVM reserved for the buffer cache and for swap-meta
information.  The default limits only effect machines with > 1GB of ram
and can be overriden with two new kernel conf variables VM_SWZONE_SIZE_MAX
and VM_BCACHE_SIZE_MAX, or with loader variables kern.maxswzone and
kern.maxbcache.  This has the effect of leaving more KVM available for
sizing NMBCLUSTERS and 'maxusers' and should avoid tripups where a sysad
adds memory to a machine and then sees the kernel panic on boot due to
running out of KVM.

Also change the default swap-meta auto-sizing calculation to allocate half
of what it was previously allocating.  The prior defaults were way too high.
Note that we cannot afford to run out of swap-meta structures so we still
stay somewhat conservative here.
