b5d89ca8ad Load the kernel symbol table in the boot loader and not at compile time.
(Boot with the -D flag if you want symbols.)

Make it easier to extend `struct bootinfo' without losing either forwards
or backwards compatibility.

ddb_aout.c:
Get the symbol table from wherever the loader put it.
Nuke db_symtab[SYMTAB_SPACE].

boot.c:
Enable loading of symbols.  Align them on a page boundary.  Add printfs
about the symbol table sizes.
Pass the memory sizes to the kernel.
Fix initialization of `unit' (it got moved out of the loop).
Fix adding the bss size (it got moved inside an ifdef).
Initialize serial port when RB_SERIAL is toggled on.
Fix comments.
Clean up formatting of recently added code.

io.c:
Clean up formatting of recently added code.

netboot/main.c, machdep.c, wd.c:
Change names of bootinfo fields.

LINT:
Nuke SYMTAB_SPACE.
Fix comment about DODUMP.

Makefile.i386:
Nuke use of dbsym.
Exclude gcc symbols from kernel unless compiling with -g.
Remove unused macro.
Fix comments and formatting.

genassym.c:
Generate defines for some new bootinfo fields.  Change names of old ones.

locore.s:
Copy only the valid part of the `struct bootinfo' passed by the loader.
Reserve space for symbol table, if any.

machdep.c:
Check the memory sizes passed by the loader, if any.  Don't use them yet.

bootinfo.h:
Add a size field so that we can resolve some mismatches between the loader
bootinfo and the kernel boot info.  The version number is not so good for
this because of historical botches and because it's harder to maintain.
Add memory size and symbol table fields.  Change the names of everything.

Hacks to save a few bytes:

asm.S, boot.c, boot2.S:
Replace `ouraddr' by `(BOOTSEG << 4)'.

boot.c:
Don't statically initialize `loadflags' to 0.  Disable the "REDUNDANT"
code that skips the BIOS variables.  Eliminate `total'.  Combine some
more printfs.

boot.h, disk.c, io.c, table.c:
Move all statically initialzed data to table.c.

io.c:
Don't put the A20 gate bits in a variable.

bf67b544a2 Pass the slice number of the boot device to the kernel in the previously
unused bitfields for the adaptor and the controller.  It should go in
the bitfield for the partition but that would not be backwards compatible.

b95ed23990 Fixed bootblocks to work with FreeBSD 2.0
1) Fixed up some header locations
2) Replaced list of boot files with /kernel
3) Changed disklabel use in Makefile to conform to 4.4
4) Added size command in Makefile to get close estimate of bootblock
   sizes. Total size of text and data must be below 64K, slightly
   overestimated since a.out header subsequently gets stripped.
5) Various buffer sizes are set to 8192 bytes in sys.c. In 4.4 MAXBSIZE
   is set to 64K which is too big for the bootblocks to deal with.

dd05fde699 Removed all patch kit headers, sccsid and rcsid strings, put $Id$ in, some
minor cleanup.  Added $Id$ to files that did not have any version info, etc

f7710986e2 New boot blocks, from Bruce Evans, and NetBSD fixes. Allows kernel to
be loaded above 1MB.  Same boot code for floppies now.  Speed improvements.
etc etc etc. (I don't have much history on this, but then have been tested)
