ed4e46bdce The ARC BIOS / AlphaBIOS specific primary boot loader. This code is the 
result of a joined effort with parts contributed by Doug Rabson, Warner
Losh and Stefan Esser (hope I did not forget anybody). Part of the sources
is obtained from NetBSD with modifications.

This code is work in progress:

As of the time of the initial import, a loader.exe executable is built,
which can be loaded on an Alpha with NT only firmware, but no attempt is
made to switch to OSF PAL code as required to start an actual kernel.

73332890ea Walk around the end of all the silly guessing of device types and unit 
numbers that we have been doing in the past, and read /etc/fstab off the
proposed root filesystem to determine the actual device name and vfs
type for the root filesystem.  These are then exported to the kernel
via the environment variable vfs.root.mountfrom.

f841485278 Fill in bi_bios_geom[] in the bootinfo structure passed to the kernel. 
This should resolve the problem raised in PR 12315, and incidentally
makes it easier to determine what geometry the BIOS is actually using
(by way of boot -v and dmesg).

3d8993c197 Modify the boot loader to recognize the -C flag and pass the RB_CDROM 
flag to the kernel to mount a CDROM as the root filesystem.  Alternatively,
the boot_cdrom env var can be set.

As Mike Smith noted, "-C is the "wrong" way to do this", but this is
an acceptable stopgap in lieu of a better way.

84b399de51 Changes to support diskless booting on the alpha: 
* Make the network code in the bootstrap more chatty (helps debugging)
* Add nfs root stuff to cpu_rootconf(). I also added a check to make sure
  it really was netbooting which allows the use of the same kernel for local
  and network boots.
* Tweak the de driver so that it takes the speed setting from the console
  for the alpha (some PWSs have broken de chipsets). This is the same
  behaviour as NetBSD/alpha.

With these changes plus the egcs fix I committed a few minutes ago,
"make -DWANT_AOUT world" works again.  Most likely, "make upgrade"
is fixed too, though I haven't tested that.
