Also remove extraneous setuid(0) - it's only undone by
the subsequent call to SelectSystem().
should work with no driver changes, though not all features are currently
used.
Remove code that was conditional on NEW_SCSICONF not being defined. This
was temporary code, that at a time got excluded correctly, until the new
scsiconf became the default, and NEW_SCSICONF was no longer specified.
Add support for quirks defined in scsiconf.c. For now only the HP3724/5
needs an entry, since that drive can't be used with tags.
so don't enforce the MTU as an MRU. Allow bidirectional ppp MTU
negotiation, by checking against a differnt figure for MRU.
Make it large enough for ATM frames at least.

o Allow "set var" with no args to blank var (don't req "").
o Zero VarTerm ASAP if not in interactive mode.
o Never print anything to stdout in -direct mode.
o Count redial when failing to open modem.
o Increase device size to 40 characters (for host:port).
o Remove missed "if (fd == 0) fd = 1;".
o Don't give up on incoming non-terminal connections.
- Added support for "dual" internal/serial consoles (-D flag). If -D is set,
then all i/o from the boot blocks is to and from both the internal console
and the serial console. -D has no effect on the kernel (-h decides the
kernel serial console as usual). -D should normally be set in /boot.config.
- Get help messages from /boot.help. You should copy boot.help from the
biosboot directory to the root directory on the boot drive when you
install new boot blocks.
- New, less invasive keyboard probe. Enable keyboard probe dynamically (-P
flag). Should probably never be used (use -h instead).
- Fixed/improved initialization from boot.config. It didn't interact correctly
with the NAMEBLOCK option, and the initialization of the drive/unit/partition
didn't stick when a non-default kernel name was entered.
- Don't reset or forget the default drive/unit/... or kernel name so often.
- Set the default kernel name to something unbootable after `?'.
- Display the defaults better.
- Removed PROBE_KEYBOARD_LOCK option (use -h instead).,
- Removed BOOT_FORCE_COMCONSOLE option (use device flag 0x20 instead).
- Removed -a (RB_HALT) flag. This flag is only used for reboots.

o Use syslog
o Remove references to stdout/stderr (incl perror())
o Introduce VarTerm - the interactive terminal or zero
o Allow "set timeout" to affect current session
o Change "set debug" to "set log"
o Allow "set log [+|-]flag"
o Make MSEXT and PASSWDAUTH stuff the default
o Move all #ifdef DEBUG stuff into the code - this
shouldn't be too much overhead. It's now controlled
with "set log +debug"
o Add "set log command, debug, tun, warn, error, alert"
o Remove cdefs.h, and assume an ansi compiler.
o Improve all diagnostic output
o Don't trap SIGSEGV
o SIGHUP now terminates again (log files are controlled
by syslog)
o Call CloseModem() when changing devices
o Fix parsing of third arg of "delete"
I think this fixes the "magic is same" problems that some
people have been experiencing.
The man page is being rewritten. It'll follow soon.
