801e789e01 Update loader logic to distinguish modules vs. files. 
Add support for module metadata. The old way of dependancy
handling will be supported for a while.

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).

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.

22004b5952 Revert bootinfo to 1.4 and use a different solution to NULL m_args 
instead (don't copy).

f03d6f87b3 Get the last used address via a more conservative method, don't depend

da6c15d597 Initial attempt to update the Alpha loader and kernel to use the machine 
independent elf loader and have access to kld modules.  Jordan and I were
not sure how to create boot floppies, and the things we tried just made
SRM laugh in our faces - but it was upset at boot1 which was not touched
by these changes.  Essentially this has been untested. :-(

What this does is to steal the last three slots from the nine spare longs
in the bootinfo_v1 struct to pass the module base pointer through.

The startup code now to set up and fills in the module and environment
structures, hopefully close enough to the i386 layout to be able to use
the same kernel code.  We now pass though the updated end of the kernel
space used, rather than _end. (like the i386).

If this does not work, it needs to be beaten into shape pronto.  Otherwise
it should be backed out before 3.0.
