Obtained from:
bios boot block changed to allow booting from both the attached graphics
display and from a serial port. (A specially compiled serial boot block
is no longer necessary.) The boot block should detect the presence or
absence of a keyboard: if there is no keyboard, COM1 is turned into the
console. This simulates the behavior of the Sun boot PROMs. Unplug your
keyboard, attach a terminal to COM1 and you should be ready to go. :)
boot(). This is needed so the "serialboot" stuff can share this file,
too.
Everything is #ifdef'ed so it evaluates to nothing when actually been
built in the "biosboot" directory.
The files in this directory are modified version of "biosboot". The
only difference is in that they perform their I/O via a serial port,
so their preferrable usage is to form bootblocks for systems where the
kernel happens to have an "options COMCONSOLE". Most of the code is
actually shared with "biosboot", and make will not (and should not)
descend into this directory by default. It is in the responsibility
of the user to build these bootblocks instead of the original ones.
Subject: Mea culpa -- small fix for netboot fixes
In accordance with the unavoidable principle sof Murphy's Law, I discovered
that the fixes I recently contributed for the netboot code had some small
flaws in them. Two of them were just typos and had no effect on how the
program functioned. The other one was a missing line from the rootopts and
swapopts functions I created in bootmenu.c, which was supposed to initialize
the NFS sotype flag. It defaults to UDP, and you can change it to TCP with
the rootopts or swapopts commands, but then you can't change it back again.
I originally had a line at the top of each function to reinitialize this
flag, but somehow it got lost in the shuffle, probably because I don't
actually have a need for that flag yet.

Smack the netboot program around so that it will allow the user to
specify mount options. [So that you can boot from a privileged port]
Change the default boot image name in netboot to /kernel, then strip
the leading slash when actually going out to get the NFS file handle.
Added support for 3Com 3c503 cards. Also added another command to
the (trans) that allows you to switch the 3Com's on-board transceiver
on and off. (ether.c, ether.h, bootmenu.c)
Modified the Makefile to support new compile-time options for 3c503
cards:
-DINCLUDE_3COM Include support for 3c503
-D_3COM_BASE=0x300 Define 3c503 base i/o address (if not
specified, 0x300 is the default)
-D_3COM_USE_AUI Disable the 3c503's transceiver by
default (without this flag the transceiver
is on by default)
I have put it here, because I belive we could share some code among the
various kinds of boot-code, whenever we get the time to look at it.

been relocated to run in the 64k segment at 0x10000 with the stack at
the top of this segment. This corrects the problems machines with 512K
base memory had booting.
2. startprog routing rewritten to convert the BOOTSEG ss to a KERNELSEG
ss, this eliminated the last of the >512K memory references. Additional
cleanup in here included a better way to copy the arguments to the
kernel stack.
3. Elimination of argv and esym cruft saved a few bytes.
4. Only need to truncate the head.a_entry to a meg boundary once intead
of every time we used it! [Saving more bytes].
5. Addition of version 1 bootinfo structure support. These boot blocks
pass the kernel name in to the kernel now.
6. Removed historical comments about MACH argv stuff, as it is useless now.
2. Clean up the .S files to use /* */ style comments.
This is a totally cosmetic change, not one byte of the resulting boot
code changes. But at least it is installed with correct owners and in
the right places, and gets recompiled correctly when things change!
is used instead of /usr/lib
io.c: add #include <machine/cpufunc.h> as instructed by David Greenman to
avoid inb/outb linking errors.
NOTE: I just discovered that if GNUC is not used the inline functions will not be expanded from the include file and real inb/outb functions would
be needed.
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.

from David Greenman, Bruce Evans and Julian Elischer.
They are:
[vnode pager - David/Bruce]:
The following patch fixes a problem where some data could be lost in a
delayed-write buffer if the cached buffer was larger than a page. This fix was
provided by Bruce Evans and modified slightly by me.
[st.c - Julian]:
My fix for "bad request, must be between 0 and 0"
RTFS if you're interested).
[gnu/fpemul - David/Bruce]:
These changes fix single stepping of emulated FPU instructions.
Previously, the instruction after an emulated instruction was
executed without causing a SIGTRAP ...
The also fix the initial control word being different for the
GPL emulator (it is still wrong for the old emulator) and remove
an unnecessary panic when emulation is not configured (I hope at
least init, sh and reboot will run without floating point. I
remember only df and mkfs being broken by the lack of FP in 0.0).
[Various fixes described below - Bruce/David]:
sys/i386/boot/boot2.S:
Yet another attempt to propagate the correct fix for 16 vs
32-bit mode bugs. [verified]
sys/i386/i386/db_interface.c:
Protect against reentering Debugger().
sys/kern/kern_time.c:
Don't allow 'time.tv_usec == 0' except at clock interrupts.
sys/pcfs/pcfs_fat.c:
Make it compile without -O.
sys/scsi/sd.c:
Fix as posted to some freebsd mailing list.
(changes the order of the assignment of "sectors" because it earlier
value is needed first -DG)
sys/vm/vm_glue.c:
Fix stale comments and verbose code.
sys/vm/vm_mmap.c
Fix off by 1 errors and verbose code.
[From Nate - cosmetic but non-intrusive and useful enough to go in]
sys/i386/isa/isa.c:
Appended you'll find a patch to the NMI error log routine in isa/isa.c.
The below patch just adds some additional information when an NMI occurs
which can help debug the hardware problem.
