Folks - please review these! I'm quite sleepy at the moment, and I'm
sure that some of this could be worded better. I'd like to have at least
a reasonable syntax pass over this before handing it off to the translation
folks! Thanks! Feel free to commit any changes directly if it's any time
in the next 8 hours, BTW. I won't mind since I'll be asleep!
- the major number wasn't checked, so accesses beyond the end of bdevsw[]
were possible. Bogus major numbers are easy to get because `sysctl -w'
doesn't handle dev_t's reasonably - it doesn't convert names to dev_t's
and it converts the number 1025 to the dev_t 0x35323031.
- Driver d_psize() functions return -1 to indicate error ENXIO or ENODEV
(the interface is too braindamaged to say which). -1 was interpreted
as a size and resulted in the bogus error ENOSPC.
- it was possible to set the dumpdev for devices without a d_psize()
function. This is equivalent to setting the dumpdev to NODEV except
it confuses sysctl.
- change a 512 to DEV_BSIZE. There is an official macro dtoc() for
converting "pages" to disk blocks but it is never used in /usr/src/sys.
There is much confusion between PAGE_SIZE sized pages and NBPG sized
pages. Maxmem consists of both.
Not fixed:
- there is nothing to invalidate the dumpdev if the media goes away.
This reduces the benefits of the early calculation of dumplo. Bounds
checking in the dump routines is relied on to reduce the risk of
damage and little would be lost by relying on the dump routines to
calculate dumplo.
- no attempt is made to stay away from the start of the device to
avoid clobbering labels.
Fix wrong && anachronistic comment about the type of bootdev.

handled correctly. This would manifest itself as "object deallocated too
many times" panics and perhaps other strange inconsistencies on NFS servers.

Remove unused devices (*[sw]d*[bdefgh]).
Dont gzip boot_crunch. (This SAVES space on a 4 MB machine, since the
file can be segment can be paged from now.
This (with the kzip patch) makes a 4M machine boot and run again.
Margin in my build is 22 blocks and 9 inodes.
I will look at tgz'ing the help files, we need that.
Add a NOMAN= . It doesn't have a manual page yet.
Please don't cry :-). I ask Rod first. the whole isdn subdir is not
used in the moment and is only dead source code in the tree.
Add Bt956 as being supported.
Include 2940 in the 2742/2842 section.
Anyone with a new feature or driver in 2.0.5 should think about adding "blurbs"
to this file. Some features say exactly what they do, others say nothing...
this document needs some rounding out.
LINT talks about about 2.1. I changed that to 2.0.5,
and clarified why certain devices need "at scbus?".
There is still a crazy "PCVT=210" which shouldn't be there,
but corrected comment as it is needed for 2.0.5.
multi part stuff centralized.
The final check is backwards or something so it always said it failed,
even it it didn't.
Fixed tcpip address check to not be stupid, 10.0.255.1 is legal.

jump up and down on it.

2. Try to work around a bodge in the ftp extraction loop where FtpEOF() was
being called more than once. Also fix a problem where the URL was getting
smashed in the environment by copying it to a temporary area before we
jump up and down on it.
