and he says he's happy to see forward movement in aligning our defaults
with a 16 bit world, the 8 bit folk already being veterans by this
point who know how to use userconfig.
In any case, perhaps Warner will soon come to save us all with his Dynamic
Probing(tm) feature and this will all become totally moot in any case,
so it's probably not worth arguing about either way.
to this when raised, and most were in favor of at least this option
(some also asked for semaphores and messages, but I'll leave that argument
for another time :).
I have no idea if this works since I don't have one of the cards to test.
I also don't know what the LINT and GENERIC entries should look like,
so I just made up some values for now and left them commented out.
Someone who knows the factory settings for a Pro/10, please contact me!

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
I've added an installation from optical disk drive facility.
This enables FreeBSD to be installed from an optical disk, which
may be formatted in "super floppy" style or sliced into MSDOS-FS
and UFS partitions.
Note: ncr.c should be reviewed by Stefan Esser <se@freebsd.org>
and cd.c by Joerg Wunsch <joerg@freebsd.org> before bringing this
into 2.2.

aic7xxx cards failing on certain motherboards, reverse the logic used to
control this feature. AHC_FORCE_PIO is replaced with AHC_ALLOW_MEMIO.
GENERIC no longer needs to specify the AHC_FORCE_PIO option since this is
the default.
AHC_FORCE_PIO - This forces the driver to use PIO even on systems that
say they have memory mapped the controller's registers. This
seems to fix Ken Lam's problems. I've also placed this option
in the GENERIC kernel file so that we are guaranteed to install
even on these flakey machines.
AHC_SHARE_SCBS - This option attempts to share the external SCB SRAM on
the 398X controllers allowing a totoll of 255 non-paged SCBs.
This doesn't work quite yet, so this option is mostly here to
help 398X owners to experiment and give me feedback until this
works properly.
regarding apm to LINT
- Disabled the statistics clock on machines which have an APM BIOS and
have the options "APM_BROKEN_STATCLOCK" enabled (which is default
in GENERIC now)
- move around some of the code in clock.c dealing with the rtc to make
it more obvios the effects of disabling the statistics clock

LINT: add a couple of new/missing/undocumented options
files.i386: add linux code so that you can compile a kernel with static
linux emulation ("options LINUX")
i386/*: use #if defined(COMPAT_LINUX) || defined(LINUX) to enable static
support of linux emulation (just like "IBCS2" makes ibcs2 static)
The main thing this is going to make obvious, is that the LINUX code
(when compiled from LINT) has a lot of warnings, some of which dont look
too pleasant..
allow one EISA/ISA/PCI/VL Buslogic controller to be probed. The driver
is almost fully dynamic. It just needs some kdc work and for the SCSI code
to stop passing unit numbers up in the scsi_xfer struct.
require specific partitions be mentioned in the kernel config
file ("swap on foo" is now obsolete).
From Poul-Henning:
The visible effect is this:
As default, unless
options "NSWAPDEV=23"
is in your config, you will have four swap-devices.
You can swapon(2) any block device you feel like, it doesn't have
to be in the kernel config.
There is a performance/resource win available by getting the NSWAPDEV right
(but only if you have just one swap-device ??), but using that as default
would be too restrictive.
The invisible effect is that:
Swap-handling disappears from the $arch part of the kernel.
It gets a lot simpler (-145 lines) and cleaner.
