7b5cad487c From Bruce:
*	If there is no 386BSD partition, initialize the label sector with
 *	LABELSECTOR instead of with garbage.
 *	Fixed reading of bad sector table.  It is at the end of the 'c'
 *	partition, which is not always at the end of the disk.

Subject: cache botch in bootstrap
Date: Sun, 20 Feb 94 18:14:35 +1100
The cache in the bootstrap loader didn't allow for the device changing.

This caused surprisingly little trouble - the cache is only for a single
track (or part of a track), and the first access to a new device is
always for an early sector, so there is no problem unless the last access
to the old device was for an early sector.  I saw the problem on a system
with BSD on wd1 and no label on wd0.  Everything worked if the the device
name wd(1,a) was specified before the default of wd(0,a) was tried, but
when the default was tried, it failed on the first sector because there
was no label, and then the first sector on wd0 was always used instead
of the first sector on wd1, so there was apparently no label on wd1
either.

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)
