f352a0d45f First cut at support for booting a GPT labeled disk via the BIOS bootstrap
on i386 and amd64 machines.  The overall process is that /boot/pmbr lives
in the PMBR (similar to /boot/mbr for MBR disks) and is responsible for
locating and loading /boot/gptboot.  /boot/gptboot is similar to /boot/boot
except that it groks GPT rather than MBR + bsdlabel.  Unlike /boot/boot,
/boot/gptboot lives in its own dedicated GPT partition with a new
"FreeBSD boot" type.  This partition does not have a fixed size in that
/boot/pmbr will load the entire partition into the lower 640k.  However,
it is limited in that it can only be 545k.  That's still a lot better than
the current 7.5k limit for boot2 on MBR.  gptboot mostly acts just like
boot2 in that it reads /boot.config and loads up /boot/loader.  Some more
details:
- Include uuid_equal() and uuid_is_nil() in libstand.
- Add a new 'boot' command to gpt(8) which makes a GPT disk bootable using
  /boot/pmbr and /boot/gptboot.  Note that the disk must have some free
  space for the boot partition.
  - This required exposing the backend of the 'add' function as a
    gpt_add_part() function to the rest of gpt(8).  'boot' uses this to
    create a boot partition if needed.
- Don't cripple cgbase() in the UFS boot code for /boot/gptboot so that
  it can handle a filesystem > 1.5 TB.
- /boot/gptboot has a simple loader (gptldr) that doesn't do any I/O
  unlike boot1 since /boot/pmbr loads all of gptboot up front.  The
  C portion of gptboot (gptboot.c) has been repocopied from boot2.c.
  The primary changes are to parse the GPT to find a root filesystem
  and to use 64-bit disk addresses.  Currently gptboot assumes that the
  first UFS partition on the disk is the / filesystem, but this algorithm
  will likely be improved in the future.
- Teach the biosdisk driver in /boot/loader to understand GPT tables.
  GPT partitions are identified as 'disk0pX:' (e.g. disk0p2:) which is
  similar to the /dev names the kernel uses (e.g. /dev/ad0p2).
- Add a new "freebsd-boot" alias to g_part() for the new boot UUID.

97995404be MFp4: add FireWire/dcons support in loader for i386/amd64.
It is disabled by default. You need to put
LOADER_FIREWIRE_SUPPORT=yes in /etc/make.conf
and rebuild loader to enable it.
(cd /sys/boot/i386 && make clean && make && make install)

You can find a short introduction of dcons at

f62a945f30 RIP liloldr.
It is not complete (the LILO root= specification isn't passed to our
loader for instance), it has not been touched in over 2 years.  Linux has
moved on to GRUB, so this is OBE now.  If someone creeps up to work on it,
it could become a port.

1c85e6a35d This commit adds basic support for the UFS2 filesystem. The UFS2
filesystem expands the inode to 256 bytes to make space for 64-bit
block pointers. It also adds a file-creation time field, an ability
to use jumbo blocks per inode to allow extent like pointer density,
and space for extended attributes (up to twice the filesystem block
size worth of attributes, e.g., on a 16K filesystem, there is space
for 32K of attributes). UFS2 fully supports and runs existing UFS1
filesystems. New filesystems built using newfs can be built in either
UFS1 or UFS2 format using the -O option. In this commit UFS1 is
the default format, so if you want to build UFS2 format filesystems,
you must specify -O 2. This default will be changed to UFS2 when
UFS2 proves itself to be stable. In this commit the boot code for
reading UFS2 filesystems is not compiled (see /sys/boot/common/ufsread.c)
as there is insufficient space in the boot block. Once the size of the
boot block is increased, this code can be defined.

Things to note: the definition of SBSIZE has changed to SBLOCKSIZE.
The header file <ufs/ufs/dinode.h> must be included before
<ufs/ffs/fs.h> so as to get the definitions of ufs2_daddr_t and
ufs_lbn_t.

Still TODO:
Verify that the first level bootstraps work for all the architectures.
Convert the utility ffsinfo to understand UFS2 and test growfs.
Add support for the extended attribute storage. Update soft updates
to ensure integrity of extended attribute storage. Switch the
current extended attribute interfaces to use the extended attribute
storage. Add the extent like functionality (framework is there,
but is currently never used).

48a0c4ea04 Mega i386 loader commit.
- Don't hard code 0x10000 as the entry point for the loader.  Instead add
  src/sys/boot/i386/Makefile.inc which defines a make variable with the
  entry point for the loader.  Move the loader's entry point up to
  0x20000, which makes PXE happy.
- Don't try to use cpp to parse btxldr for the optional BTXLDR_VERBOSE,
  instead use m4 to achieve this.  Also, add a BTXLDR_VERBOSE knob in the
  btxldr Makefile to turn this option on.
- Redo parts of cdldr's Makefile so that it now builds and installs cdboot
  instead of having i386/loader/Makefile do that.  Also, add in some more
  variables to make the pxeldr Makefile almost identical and thus to ease
  maintainability.
- Teach cdldr about the a.out format.  Cdldr now parsers the a.out header
  of the loader binary and relocates it based on that.  The entry point of
  the loader no longer has to be hardcoded into cdldr.  Also, the boot
  info table from mkisofs is no longer required to get a useful cdboot.
- Update the lsdev function for BIOS disks to parse other file systems
  (such as DOS FAT) that we currently support.  This is still buggy as
  it assumes that a floppy with a DOS boot sector actually has a MBR and
  parses it as such.  I'll be fixing this in the future.
- The biggie:  Add in support for booting off of PXE-enabled network
  adapters.  Currently, we use the TFTP API provided by the PXE BIOS.
  Eventually we will switch to using the low-level NIC driver thus
  allowing both TFTP and NFS to be used, but for now it's just TFTP.

c8bb85f758 Add the new cdldr CD bootstrap loader. This patch includes the following:
- Fix btxldr to preserve a NULL bootinfo pointer when it copies the kernel
  arguments.
- Add the cdldr bootstrap program.  This program is tacked onto the
  beginning of the standard 3rd stage boot loader (/boot/loader) to form
  the CD boot loader (/boot/cdboot).  When a CD is booted, the cdboot file
  is copied into memory instead and executed.  The cdldr stub emulates the
  environment normally provided by boot2 and then starts the loader.  This
  booting method does not emulate a floppy drive, but boots directly off of
  the CD.  This should fix the problems some BIOS's have with emulating a
  2.88 MB floppy image.
- Add support to the loader to recognize that it has been booted by cdldr
  instead of boot2 and use a simpler method of extracting the BIOS boot
  device.

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.
