fec712543d Load the kernel config file where userconfig (with option USERCONFIG_BOOT)
will see it.  The name of the file is obtained by appending ".config"
to the name of the kernel file.  If the file doesn't exist, then an
annoying message is printed.

Reduced the command line buffer size yet again from 4096 to 1024.  It is
oversized to defend against overrun in gets(), but data space is starting
to run out so the buffer size can't be as grossly oversized as before.

de2cf96615 - 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.

8363c19687 Get defaults for the boot device (and flags) from the file
"boot.config" (relative to the root directory on the 'a' partition
on the first BSD slice) if it exists.  If it doesn't exist, then
the only visible changes should be that the kernel name isn't reset
to "/kernel" after looking it up fails and that the default name
is now "kernel".

The new function readfile() can be used for other things:
- reading help messages.
- reading splash screens.
- reading userconfig info.

d154cceba7 Potentially saved a whole 4 bytes and reduced bogusness by eliminating
the pointer to the string "/kernel".  This pointer was once only
statically to once save space, but it has had to be dynamically
initialized for some time, so the static initialization just wastes
space.  The string gets moved to the text section, so the actual
savings may be negative due to padding.

ae6e81ef56 Saved 48 bytes (56 before padding) by moving a variable declaration.
gcc always generates large code for accesses to globals.  For locals
it only generates large code if there are more than 128 bytes of
locals.  It sorts scalar locals after array locals to pessimize for
space in the usual case when there are more (static) references to
scalars than to arrays.

Saved another 16 bytes (13 before padding) by adding a `continue'.

Fall-through tests normally save space, but here one of them made
gcc do space-unoptimal register allocation (it allocates ch in %bl
because preserving this register across function calls is "free",
but comparisions with %bl take one byte fewer than comparsions with
%bl).

bf709d2564 3 changes:
1/ Makefile:  the maximum size for boot2 is 7.5K not 7K,
so don't complain until it reaches THAT size..
newfs leaves 8K and boot 1 is 512k. leaving 7.5K becasue the disklabel
is considered to part of the boot2 file.

[512  boot1][512 disklabel][     7K boot2 code        ]
[boot1 file][               boot2 file                ]

2/ Boot2.S: move the soring of the default name read from block 2 to AFTER
clearing the BSS.

3/ boot.c:
Move the parsing of the command line into the
place it's called for clarity.. alsoi comment it a bit and clean it
up a bit.. for some reason this seems ot have made it a little
larger, but I can't work out why.. maybe bruce might have ideas?
compensated for by shrinkage elsewhere..

the practical result of this is htat the default string can now contain args
e.g. if you change the default string to have -gd
then the machine will boot to the dgb debugger stub by default..
this is mostly useful with the nextboot utility..
as it now allows you to remotely force a machine to reboot into
the debugger.

9ed24653f7 Obtained from: Whistle Communications
Add code to the boot blocks to allow the user to place default boot strings
on block 1 of the disk (2nd block), should the correct magic numbers be present.

If the correct options are used it will 'delete' the name used from block1,
thereby assuring that if the boot fails it won't be stuck in an infinite loop.

the boot strings are set by the utility "nextboot"
(not yet checked in, but being tested.)
By default these changes should have no effect on existing installations
and if compiled without the NAMEBLOCK option should be essentially identical
to the old ones.

0166c5c6b4 Allow specifying the BIOS drive number. Removed the hd drive type.
hd essentially wired the FreeBSD drive number to 0 without changing
the BIOS drive number.  Now the numbers can be specified independently.

Replaced the BOOT_HD compile time flag with with BOOT_HD_BIAS.  Defining
the new flag as 1 should give the same behaviour as defining the old
flag as anything.  I haven't tested defining these flags.

8da0f3b87a Make some functions static like they always should have been.
Change the interfaces of these functions to save space.  The code
that takes the least amount of space is often the opposite to what
you might expect.  E.g., it helps to waste a few bytes passing
pointers so that the compiler can't see that certain addresses
are identical (gcc likes to waste space by reloading fat constants
even when the constant is already in a register).

Rewrite getbootdev() to save 80 bytes of space and to make it less
ugly.  32 bytes were saved simply by omitting the continue statements
in the pseudo-switch.

9c6e0c69be . Make Poul's boot2 overflow warning less noisy in case the blocks
do fit, and beeping in case of an overflow.

.  Drop a comment about the ``FORCE_COMCONSOLE'' option into
   README.serial.

.  Increase the name buffer for the root directory from 100 bytes
   to 8 KB;  this is in no way ideal, but (IMHO) the best that can
   be done by now.  People did encounter problems with their root
   dir name listing overflowing the allocated buffer space.  Once
   we've got the three-stage boot, we should implement some basic
   malloc().  Swap space is already getting tight now, perhaps the
   swap should go into another 64 KB segment instead.

.  Make the keyboard probe less paranoid.  It should not give up in
   case of a keyboard that's continuously demanding RESEND's.  Even
   though the keyboard reset apparently has not been reported to be
   complete, it's at the very least proven that there IS something
   like a keyboard available.

   This solves problems with the ``Gateway-2000 AllKey programmable''
   (sp?) keyboard, that experienced a total hang with the previous
   probe.

   Thanks goes to Scott Blachowicz <scott@statsci.com> for his
   extensive testing of my various interim (debugging) bootblocks
   to get this working.

15c99149f8 Boot block cleanup.
o Fix the keyboard probe to properly wait for the ready bit before
sending a command to the keyboard controller.  This should avoid the
problems some people are experiencing where the boot blocks hang the
system during keyboard probe.  (It does solve it for me.)

o Fix a bug that effectively prevented the boot blocks from ever
passing control to the serial console.  [while(--retries) instead of
while(retries--)]

o Gratuitously reduced the keyboard probe timeout from 500 to 5
seconds. :)

o Introduced a new option ``FORCE_COMCONSOLE'' as a commented-out
example in the Makefile, to force the usage of a serial console
regardless of a keyboard being connected or not.

o Moved all external declarations to boot.h, declared all functions
there, and ANSIfied all function declarations/definitions.
(printf() remains bogus, however -- i'm too lazy to fix this.)
We're in the ninetees, dunno why we should still support compilers
from the 70's.

8a03631b28 According to a Usenet posting forward to me by Jordan, there's
at least one user out there who's system won't autoboot from the
serial console because of what sounds like 'phantom keystrokes'
making the timeout timer trip. I've tried to solve this by
adding an extra call to init_serial() right before the 'Boot:'
prompt is printed (done only if RB_SERIAL is set) to hopefully
make sure that the input buffer is clear. Unfortunately, the fellow
is in Germany and I haven't heard back from him yet. I haven't
been able to duplicate this problem on my hardware, so this is
a stab in the dark. At the very least, it shouldn't hurt anything.

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.

Obtained from:
bios boot block changed to allow booting from both the attached graphics
display and from a serial port. (A specially compiled serial boot block
is no longer necessary.) The boot block should detect the presence or
absence of a keyboard: if there is no keyboard, COM1 is turned into the
console. This simulates the behavior of the Sun boot PROMs. Unplug your
keyboard, attach a terminal to COM1 and you should be ready to go. :)
