b8b4c607d8 Document that loader(8) stops reading `loader.conf' when it
encounters a syntax error, and add a tip about adding first
the `vital' options and then experimental ones.

4832a19173 Add a "comconsole_speed" loader variable that can be used to change
the serial console speed (i386 and amd64 only). If the previous
stage boot loader requested a serial console (RB_SERIAL or RB_MULTIPLE)
then the default speed is determined from the current serial port
speed. Otherwise it is set to 9600 or the value of BOOT_COMCONSOLE_SPEED
at compile time.

This makes it possible to set the serial port speed once in
/boot.config and the setting will propagate to boot2, loader and
the kernel serial console.

4d87b291ad Extend `autoboot_delay' handling - is this variable is set to -1 don't allow
user to interrupt autoboot process at all. Currently, even when
`autoboot_delay' is set to 0, loader(8) still allows autoboot process to be
interrupted by pressing any key on the console when the loader reads kernel
and modules from the disk. In some cases (i.e. untrusted environment) such
behaviour is highly indesirable and user should not be allowed to interfere
with the autoboot process at all.

e522e6e988 Fix a bunch of stack leaks. These were theoretically harmless, except that
they would leave enough elements on the stack that if you escaped to the
loader prompt and then typed 'setenv', it would pull in all of the leaked
junk and cause an exception in the environment.  There still seems to be
3 leaked elements, but they don't appear to be coming from this file.

keyboards to work if no PS/2 keyboard is attached.  The position in the

ab737c5f07 Setting "kernel" to an absolute path is a bad idea because
after loading such a kernel, "module_path" will be set to
an insane value.  Fixed example by providing an equivalent
setting.  For the record, when automatically loading a
kernel (commands "boot" and "boot-conf"), the following is
tried, in this order:

	path=/boot/${kernel} file=${bootfile}
	path=/boot/${kernel} file=${kernel}
	path=${kernel} file=${bootfile}
	path=${kernel} file=${kernel}
	path=${module_path} file=${kernel}
