modules split across several physical medias. Following is how it works:
The splitfs code, when asked to open "foo" looks for a file "foo.split"
which is a text file containing a list of filenames and media names, e.g.
foo.aa "Kernel floppy 1"
foo.ab "Kernel floppy 2"
foo.ac "Kernel and modules floppy"
For each file segment, the process is:
- try to open the file
- prompt "Insert the disk labelled <whatever> and press any key..."
- try to open the file
- return error if file could not be located

deep in <stand.h> to eventually include <time.h> to declare the user
version.
This is not quite the right place to declare it, but <stand.h> would
be worse because time() is very MD so it isn't in libstand.
Many places in the boot sources still get the user version using only
1 layer of pollution (#include <sys/time.h>. Some pollute themselves
directly (#include <time.h>). But the boot Makefiles are too broken
to enable warnings for redeclarations.

disks are attached, so I will change this part as soon as I find

To boot from NetBSD/sparc64 partitions, define LABELOFFSET to

No path containing "cdrom" is detected as a disk now.

because the buffers we use could end up spanning a 64k boundary.
Unfortunately it causes too much bloat (228 -> 72 bytes free) to
just reinstate the old malloc() function.
Instead, define a structure that contains all 4 buffers which must
not cross 64k boundaries. We allocate a 64k-aligned instance in
main() using the magic that was in the old boot2 malloc() function.
This brings the free space down to 168 bytes, but that is still
better than it was before revision 1.35 (136 bytes).

block size, so there is no longer a static limit.
Simply increasing the buffer size from 8k to 16k as done on the
i386 doesn't work on the alpha, probably because it causes us
to overshoot boot1's 48k runtime memory limit.

All the alpha loaders should use the same version file. Also, we might

- Change the 'fopen' keyword to accept a mode parameter. Note that this
will break existing 4th scripts that use fopen. Thus, the loader
version has been bumped and loader.4th has been changed to check for a
sufficient version on i386 and alpha. Be sure that you either do a full
world build or install or full build and install of sys/boot after this
since loader.old won't work with the new 4th files and vice versa.

This flag adds a pausing utility. When ran with -p, during the kernel
probing phase, the kernel will pause after each line of output.
This pausing can be ended with the '.' key, and is automatically
suspended when entering ddb.
This flag comes in handy at systems without a serial port that either hang

to the El Torito standard for CD booting, a CD may boot in "No emulation"
mode without using a floppy image. In this mode, the BIOS loads a program
off of the CD into memory and creates a BIOS device using 2048 byte sectors
for the CD. According to the standard, this program can be up to 0xFFFF
virtual (512-byte) sectors long. The old cdldr depended on this by having
the BIOS load the entire loader and the small cdldr stub as one binary
similar to pxeboot so that cdldr didn't have to read the CD to find the
loader. However, the NT no emulation loader just uses 1 disk sector
(4 virtual sectors), so it seems that at least some BIOS writers just did
enough to get NT to boot by only loading 1 sector and ignoring the sector
count. Thus, while cdldr should have worked in theory, it doesn't in
practice. This replacment fits entirely in 1 sector and includes simple
ISO 9660 support. It looks for /boot/loader on the CD and loads it up
using the BIOS. This allows us to not have to depend on the limited size
of floppy images but use a full GENERIC kernel for CD-ROM installs in the
future, among other things.
This version of cdboot is a bit bloated as it includes some useful
debugging routines that people can pull to use in other x86 assembly
modules. Even with all the debugging cruft, we still have 272 bytes to
spare.

This is also most likely the reason why the Thinkpad T20/A20 series

reason why a boot1 being present causes an IA64 box to lock up at boot.
