* Fix a raft of warnings, printf and otherwise.
* Allocate the correct amount in mod_searchmodule to prevent an overflow.
* Fix the makefiles so they work outside my home directory (oops).

c73b70eec4 Bootloader update.
- Implement a new copyin/readin interface for loading modules.
   This allows the module loaders to become MI, reducing code duplication.
 - Simplify the search for an image activator for the loaded kernel.
 - Use the common module management code for all module metadata.
 - Add an 'unload' command that throws everything away.
 - Move the a.out module loader to MI code, add support for a.out
   kld modules.

c2f9d95de5 This is the new unified bootstrap, sometimes known previously as the
'three-stage' bootstrap.
There are a number of caveats with the code in its current state:
 - The i386 bootstrap only supports booting from a floppy.
 - The kernel and kld do not yet know how to deal with the extended
   information and module summary passed in.
 - PnP-based autodetection and demand loading of modules is not implemented.
 - i386 ELF kernel loading is not ready yet.
 - The i386 bootstrap is loaded via an ugly blockmap.

On the alpha, both net- and disk-booting (SRM console machines only) is
supported.  No blockmaps are used by this code.

Obtained from:	Parts from the NetBSD/i386 standalone bootstrap.
