b5d89ca8ad Load the kernel symbol table in the boot loader and not at compile time.
(Boot with the -D flag if you want symbols.)

Make it easier to extend `struct bootinfo' without losing either forwards
or backwards compatibility.

ddb_aout.c:
Get the symbol table from wherever the loader put it.
Nuke db_symtab[SYMTAB_SPACE].

boot.c:
Enable loading of symbols.  Align them on a page boundary.  Add printfs
about the symbol table sizes.
Pass the memory sizes to the kernel.
Fix initialization of `unit' (it got moved out of the loop).
Fix adding the bss size (it got moved inside an ifdef).
Initialize serial port when RB_SERIAL is toggled on.
Fix comments.
Clean up formatting of recently added code.

io.c:
Clean up formatting of recently added code.

netboot/main.c, machdep.c, wd.c:
Change names of bootinfo fields.

LINT:
Nuke SYMTAB_SPACE.
Fix comment about DODUMP.

Makefile.i386:
Nuke use of dbsym.
Exclude gcc symbols from kernel unless compiling with -g.
Remove unused macro.
Fix comments and formatting.

genassym.c:
Generate defines for some new bootinfo fields.  Change names of old ones.

locore.s:
Copy only the valid part of the `struct bootinfo' passed by the loader.
Reserve space for symbol table, if any.

machdep.c:
Check the memory sizes passed by the loader, if any.  Don't use them yet.

bootinfo.h:
Add a size field so that we can resolve some mismatches between the loader
bootinfo and the kernel boot info.  The version number is not so good for
this because of historical botches and because it's harder to maintain.
Add memory size and symbol table fields.  Change the names of everything.

Hacks to save a few bytes:

asm.S, boot.c, boot2.S:
Replace `ouraddr' by `(BOOTSEG << 4)'.

boot.c:
Don't statically initialize `loadflags' to 0.  Disable the "REDUNDANT"
code that skips the BIOS variables.  Eliminate `total'.  Combine some
more printfs.

boot.h, disk.c, io.c, table.c:
Move all statically initialzed data to table.c.

io.c:
Don't put the A20 gate bits in a variable.

Obtained from:
bios boot block changed to allow booting from both the attached graphics
display and from a serial port. (A specially compiled serial boot block
is no longer necessary.) The boot block should detect the presence or
absence of a keyboard: if there is no keyboard, COM1 is turned into the
console. This simulates the behavior of the Sun boot PROMs. Unplug your
keyboard, attach a terminal to COM1 and you should be ready to go. :)

3dea9c24ac Improved the user interface:
1) Added file list capability via '?'.
2) Arranged usage info to be more unix-like.
3) Fixed backspace over prompt annoyance.

dfc5d1d4eb Makefile: add ${LDDESTDIR} to linking of boot code so ${DESTDIR}/usr/lib
is used instead of /usr/lib

io.c: add #include <machine/cpufunc.h> as instructed by David Greenman to
avoid inb/outb linking errors.
NOTE:  I just discovered that if GNUC is not used the inline functions will not be expanded from the include file and real inb/outb functions would
be needed.

df9ab3049d Removed inclusion of pio.h and cpufunc.h (cpufunc.h is included from
systm.h). Merged functionality of pio.h into cpufunc.h. Cleaned up some
related code.

3f9e73d24f Changed delay mechanism to rely more on I/O spinning. If spinning on the
like this is bad news, it will have to be revised.
Shortened some verbose messages for when the kernel is loaded below 640k.
Updated version number.

f4c5931839 From Hellmuth Michaelis, reviewed by Bruce Evans: This enables
the keyboard clock rather than incorrectly disabling it.

f675355835 make BOOTWAIT loopcount parameter available for tuning.
This changes nothing unless f.e. -DBOOTWAIT=0 or -DBOOTWAIT=640000 is used

dd05fde699 Removed all patch kit headers, sccsid and rcsid strings, put $Id$ in, some
minor cleanup.  Added $Id$ to files that did not have any version info, etc

f7710986e2 New boot blocks, from Bruce Evans, and NetBSD fixes. Allows kernel to
be loaded above 1MB.  Same boot code for floppies now.  Speed improvements.
etc etc etc. (I don't have much history on this, but then have been tested)
