cf9443f92b Add simple terminal emulator, compatible with cons25. Currently supported 
capabilities are: AF, AB, cm, ho, me, cd. The code is hidden behind
-DTERM_EMU - should it cause any problems, you can remove this define
to get back the old behaviour.

You'll find some examples how to use it in src/share/examples/bootforth.

8719fada36 Reformat help to improve subtopic display appearance, other minor 
cleaning.  The 'help' command in the loader should now be usable and
hopefully informative.

packet interface.  Add booteasy-style F5 support.  Add no-update
option. Implement various space optimizations and consistency fixes.

207fe43d59 bootforth seems to be working well enough for me and others to turn

7ac90f7d65 Drop the familiar 'text=xxxx data=xxxx bss=xxxx ...' display while 
loading.  This eliminates noise when loading boot/loader; and when
loading a kernel, they generally flash by too fast to be
intelligible anyway.

9888bdcd29 boot1: Eliminate EDD detection and optional use of disk packet 
interface.  Do some general consistency fixes and space optimizations.
Use of some freed-up space to defend against possible BIOS misfeatures.

boot2: Revise disk read interface to provide for boot1 changes.  Free
up space for this.

af1f6e0673 Implement a simple LRU block cache. By default this is initialised to 16k, 
and will bypass transfers for more than 8k.  Blocks are invalidated after
2 seconds, so removable media should not confuse the cache.

The 8k threshold is a compromise; all UFS transfers performed by
libstand are 8k or less, so large file reads thrash the cache.
However many filesystem metadata operations are also performed using
8k blocks, so using a lower threshold gives poor performance.

Those of you with an eye for cache algorithms are welcome to tell me
how badly this one sucks; you can start with the 'bcachestats' command
which will print the contents of the cache and access statistics.

more strictly correct approach).

dc8be6a8f5 - Add a new command 'lsdev' to list devices which might be likely to host 
filesystems.
 - New 'help' command and data in the help.* files (not yet installed),
   provides topic and subtopic help, indexes, etc.
 - Don't crash if the user tries to set an invalid console.  Be helpful
   instead.
 - Expand tabs (badly) on the i386 video console.
 - Some minor cosmetic changes.

8879e57b3e Simplify the "is a character ready" test, so that we don't return a false 
negative for keypresses with zero ascii values.  This is in line with the
comconsole test, rather than being more ambitious.

 - in debugging.
 - Supply ISA port access functions required for ISA PnP

93d51dcaf9 Treat all options as toggles (ie. -c -c is the same no -c). Since 
the boot.config settings are persistent, this seems to provide a
useful override capability, and should break only on broken
boot.config's.

Output a cosmetic newline if booting with no input.

7fa25d805a biosboot compatibility fix: 
Read boot.help before parsing boot.config.  We were parsing
boot.config first, which could result in boot.help being read
from a different location (or not found), which would probably
just cause surprise, without being useful.
