a6bef20793 Clarify the comments in here a bit. The first sector of boot2 is not just
zeros, it is actually the disklabel itself.  boot2.ldr is simply a
placeholder in the boot2 binary.

cbf3fb883e Add in support for EDD to support large disks via LBA. This uses a
method similar to that of the loader to avoid potentially breaking older
drives in that we only use EDD if the desired cylinder is > 1023.

35bdac5bbd Comment this bad boy. Hopefully the next person that comes along won't
have to spend a few hours reading the code to figure all this out.

638bac9fc0 Clean up all of the 16-bit assembly code in the x86 bootstrap to work
with the new binutils.  Now that we have a decent assembler, all the old
m4 macros are no longer needed.  Instead, straight assembly can be used
since as(1) now understands 16-bit addressing, branches, etc.  Also,
several bugs have been fixed in as(1), allowing boot0.s to be further
cleaned up.

c8e02dfe73 Add -fdata-sections, which is a new GCC 2.95 optimization. Remove
-fschedule-insns as it wasn't such a big win with 2.95 after all.

Add the *BIG* win "-mpreferred-stack-boundary=2" optimiztion submitted by
Dima.  GCC 2.95 ensures the stack frame is always properly [opitimally]
aligned by surrounding every function call by code simular to
"addl $-12, %esp" / "addl $12, %esp".  Here we need the reduction in space,
with speed not an issue.

cd37fe517b Return this file to its pre-spammed version. Thanks to some new compiler
optimizations, we can go from 3 bytes free with the spammed version, to
279 bytes free with the full version.

cf49270ac3 Enter complier upgrade mode again. We need to cut 169 bytes from this:
Remove some printf() calls, reduce size of buffers, and abbreviate
	some strings.

Hopefully the boot people will fix this spamage after the cut over to
Gcc 2.95.2 as the system compiler.

73de3d0ff7 Turn on the -fforce-addr and -fschedule-insns optimizations. Adding
either one gives us an additional 32 bytes of additional space available
when using EGCS 1.1.2.  With GCC 2.95.2 -fforce-addr gives us 12 more bytes,
and adding -fschedule-insns gives us an additional 4 bytes.

df5ee53868 Remove the string ">>> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT". I need to reduce the size of
boot2 by 16 bytes.  I expect this to be temperary until the boot2 authors
can do the proper fix.

c03b24b2d8 Damn, I thought I had committed this already, but it seems not.
Move the relocated boot1 and arg transfer space from 0x600/0x800 to
0x700/0x900.  In theory this should make no difference, apart from the fact
that Buslogic controllers happen to use a few bytes at 0x600 for some sort
of scratch space for it's int 0x13 hook (!!!), causing the machine to crash
badly when the boot2 code makes it's callbacks into boot1 for disk IO.

93d51dcaf9 Treat all options as toggles (ie. -c -c is the same no -c). Since
the boot.config settings are persistent, this seems to provide a
useful override capability, and should break only on broken
boot.config's.

Output a cosmetic newline if booting with no input.

7fa25d805a biosboot compatibility fix:
Read boot.help before parsing boot.config.  We were parsing
boot.config first, which could result in boot.help being read
from a different location (or not found), which would probably
just cause surprise, without being useful.
