work. This is odd because loader(8) doesn't suffer from this problem.
Perhaps pxeboot bootstrap can be fixed to handle this better.
Anyway, PXE booting should work again.

is reserved by the loader, and thus any tunable name with that suffix will
be silently discarded.
Document this in the header and man page so that other developers do not
develop so many bumps on the head after banging it against the wall.

- Factor out common settings and put them in an upper level Makefile.inc.
- Properly use PROG for real programs, not their products.
- Further reduce diffs to i386 versions.
Tested on: sparc64 (panther)
- Now that bsd.prog.mk deals with programs linked with -nostdlib
better, and has a notion of an "internal" program, use PROG
where possible. This has a good impact on the contents of
.depend files and causes programs to be linked with cc(1).
XXX: boot2 couldn't be converted as it's actually two programs.
Tested on: i386, amd64
- do not use PROG for what's not a real C program,
- use sys.mk transformation rules where possible,
- only create the "machine" symlink on AMD64,
- removed MAINTAINER lines in individual makefiles,
- added the LIBSTAND defitinion to <bsd.libnames.mk>,
- somewhat better contents in .depend files.
Tested on: i386, amd64

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.
use a bounce buffer for the actual transfer to avoid crossing a 64k
boundary. To do this, we malloc a buffer twice as big as we need and then
find an aligned block within that buffer to do the transfer. The check
to see which part of the block we use used the wrong variable for part of
the condition meaning that in certain edge cases we would ask the BIOS to
cross a 64k boundary. The BIOS request would then fail resulting in file
transfers that just magically fail in the middle without any apparent
reason. Specifically, my tests for the splitfs boot floppies managed to
trigger this edge case.

- Fix the twiddle output so that it actually spins.
- Save %cx around BIOS calls to read in sectors from the disc as at least
one BIOS trashes %cx when called to read off of a USB CD-ROM drive.
