e49dd0c779 This should have been committed with the changes to boot.c yesterday.
- Added support for "dual" internal/serial consoles (-D flag).  If -D is set,
  then all i/o from the boot blocks is to and from both the internal console
  and the serial console.  -D has no effect on the kernel (-h decides the
  kernel serial console as usual).  -D should normally be set in /boot.config.
- Get help messages from /boot.help.  You should copy boot.help from the
  biosboot directory to the root directory on the boot drive when you
  install new boot blocks.
- New, less invasive keyboard probe.  Enable keyboard probe dynamically (-P
  flag).  Should probably never be used (use -h instead).
- Fixed/improved initialization from boot.config.  It didn't interact correctly
  with the NAMEBLOCK option, and the initialization of the drive/unit/partition
  didn't stick when a non-default kernel name was entered.
- Don't reset or forget the default drive/unit/... or kernel name so often.
- Set the default kernel name to something unbootable after `?'.
- Display the defaults better.
- Removed PROBE_KEYBOARD_LOCK option (use -h instead).,
- Removed BOOT_FORCE_COMCONSOLE option (use device flag 0x20 instead).
- Removed -a (RB_HALT) flag.  This flag is only used for reboots.
