Subject: Mea culpa -- small fix for netboot fixes
In accordance with the unavoidable principle sof Murphy's Law, I discovered
that the fixes I recently contributed for the netboot code had some small
flaws in them. Two of them were just typos and had no effect on how the
program functioned. The other one was a missing line from the rootopts and
swapopts functions I created in bootmenu.c, which was supposed to initialize
the NFS sotype flag. It defaults to UDP, and you can change it to TCP with
the rootopts or swapopts commands, but then you can't change it back again.
I originally had a line at the top of each function to reinitialize this
flag, but somehow it got lost in the shuffle, probably because I don't
actually have a need for that flag yet.

That was the good news. The bad news is that bad144 is a proper mess,
and I don't have time to fix it now, so you will probably not be able to
use it anyway.
Sorry guys, go out and buy a 100Mb IDE drive and a paddleboard :-(
If somebody wants to pick up on this: bad144 needs to learn how to
stay inside our slice of the disk. That's the trick.
Go to a single dependancy in files.i386. Using a .c file for the
sequencer code won't work since I need to know the size of the program,
so we just include the generated .h file as:
"../../sys/gnu/misc/aic7770/aic7770_seq.h"

instead. The entire scheme just doesn't work as envisioned (hint: think
about make depend as well as all). Those extremely rare individuals who
actually hack on the sequencer code will know how to keep stuff in sync,
I *do* get the feeling!
Somehow, I don't think this stuff was tested at all! :-(
I really hope that it actually works, though my hopes are steadily diminishing.
Anyone with 27xx/28xx boards in -current is *strongly encouraged* to give this
stuff a shot! Otherwise, I suspect that we'll be punting this out of
2.0. I haven't found a single part of Justin's commit that wasn't broken
in some way.
of config so YOU MUST RECOMPILE CONFIG. Modifying config was the cleanest
solution to integrating this driver into the tree which will become more
obvious in the next commit.
a discussion going on about removing this code from the burden of the
GPL, but it won't happen before Beta, and this code should be tested
before release.
Supports 27/2842 class adaptec cards and is almost capable of supporting
aic7870 based adapters (294X series cards). It does not support Wide
controllers or the second channel on Twin boards although I have work in
progress on getting both channels and running.
I have also added a few performance improvements to this version that give
us approximately a 25% boost over the original driver. These patches have
been submitted to the author.

Smack the netboot program around so that it will allow the user to
specify mount options. [So that you can boot from a privileged port]
Change the default boot image name in netboot to /kernel, then strip
the leading slash when actually going out to get the NFS file handle.
Added support for 3Com 3c503 cards. Also added another command to
the (trans) that allows you to switch the 3Com's on-board transceiver
on and off. (ether.c, ether.h, bootmenu.c)
Modified the Makefile to support new compile-time options for 3c503
cards:
-DINCLUDE_3COM Include support for 3c503
-D_3COM_BASE=0x300 Define 3c503 base i/o address (if not
specified, 0x300 is the default)
-D_3COM_USE_AUI Disable the 3c503's transceiver by
default (without this flag the transceiver
is on by default)
buffering scheme and make it more in tune with FreeBSD's vfs_bio
implementation. The filesystem seems fairly stable, but I wouldn't recommend
it to anyone not willing to experience problems. This is very green code and
has the limitation that YOU CAN ONLY HAVE ONE LFS PARTITION MOUNTED AT A TIME.
What LFS is good for:
Non fsynced writes FASTER THAN FFS
Large deletions Increadibly fast
Reads are a little bit slower than FFS right now, but that is a factor of
how under optimized this code is. LFS should in theory perform at least as
well as FFS under fsync (iozone) type loads, and this is what I'm currently
working on.

Don't clobber the last page of memory (where the message buffer is). Some
BIOS don't gratuitously wipe it out on reboot.
