c7ba4828b1 Slight reorganisation of the Alpha/SRM loader build:
- Make as much of the makefile for each of the three flavours
   (disk, CDROM, net) common.
 - Special-case the libalpha startup module on its use in boot1, not
   the other way around.
 - Build the loader out of a "loader" directory

74b128bad6 * Fix a stack of warnings.
* Make it possible to type a filename to boot1 so that it is possible to
  recover from fatally broken versions of /boot/loader.
* Make a start at a CD boot program (not yet functional).

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.
