disables dysfunctional disinformed namei's,
needlessly negating namei cache."
These hacks cuts the number futile attempts made by cc and ccp to find
cross-compilers and other weird stuff. A make of the BOOTFLP kernel
has 20% less namei calls now, that is from 30647 down to 24563 calls.
of queuing mails only can be restored by uncommenting a CFLAGS+= line
in the makefile, so sites that _really_ need this (perhaps some huge
mail hubs) can still have it. The majority of FreeBSD boxes is better
served with an immediate delivery (and last time i've been asking on
the list, nobody complained).
messages like this:
wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa
wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): <ST506>
wd0: size unknown, using BIOS values: 615 cyl, 4 head, 17 sec, bytes/sec 512
npx0 at 0xf0-0xff irq 13 on motherboard
npx0: changing root device to wd0a
^^^^^^
The spurious 'npx0: ' pops up if you have a 386 with a 387 FPU.
Make the sound configuration a little neater
(see /sys/i386/isa/sound/Readme.freebsd)
Add support for the Microsoft Sound Source.
Document the sound options again.

Support sliced devices better. E.g.:
`sh MAKEDEV sd0' creates [r]sd0 and [r]sd0s[1-4] as well as [r]sd0[a-h]
(the extra devices created by default won't hurt apart from wasting inodes).
`sh MAKEDEV sd0s1[a-h]' creates [r]sd0s1[a-h] (any partition creates all).
`sh MAKEDEV sd0s5' creates [r]sd0s5.
Support unit numbers 0-31 (was 0-6).
For wd:
Remove support for creating DOSpartitions wd*[i-m]. These will get removed
if you run MAKEDEV on `all' or on wd*.
Don't print debugging messages by default.
Initialize the compatibility slice here and not in the machine-dependent
code.
Fix initialization of the label for the whole disk slice.
Make it clear that write protection of labels doesn't apply when there is
no label.
table; arptab.c is really a hacked up version of arp.c that only
supports adding temporary entries. (This stuff is nasty -- I wish I
knew what was so wrong with SIOCSARP/SIOCGARP/etc... that made the
BSD developers decide to take it out.) The idea here is that the
client issuing the rarp is expected to be in the middle of booting
and would therefore be unable to answer arp queries from other machines
on the wire. Having rarpd stuff a temporary entry for the booting
host into the local arp table helps keep arp requests from going unanswered.
Also added ether_print() and ether_ntoa() to the ether_addr.c module.
Eventually I'll get ether_aton() and ether_hostton() written and
then this file can be dropped straight into libc. (Assuming no one
objects, of course. :)
