Mike Smith 06b57b0e09 Bootstrap updates.
- Move some startup code from MD to MI sections
 - Add a 'copyout' and some copyout-related functions.  These will be
   obsoleted when BTX is available for the 386 and the kernel load
   area becomes directly addressable.
 - Add the ability load an arbitrary file as a module, associating
   and arbitrary type string with it.  This can be used eg. for loading
   splash-screen images etc.
 - Add KLD module dependancy infrastructure.  We know how to look for
   dependancies inside KLD modules, how to resolve these dependancies
   and what to do if things go wrong.  Only works for a.out at the
   moment, due to lack of an MI ELF loader.  Attach KLD module information
   to loaded modules as metadata, but don't pass it to the kernel (it
   can find it itself).
 - Load a.out KLD modules on a page boundary.  Only pad the a.out BSS
   for the kernel, as it may want to throw symbols away.  (We might want
   to do this for KLD modules too.)
 - Allow commands to be hidden from the '?' display, to avoid cluttering
   it with things like 'echo'.  Add 'echo'.
 - Bring the 'prompt' command into line with the parser syntax.
 - Fix the verbose 'ls'; it was using an uninitialised stack variable.
 - Add a '-v' flag to 'lsmod' to have it display module metadata as well
   (not terribly useful for the average user)
 - Support a 'module searchpath' for required modules.
 - The bootstrap file on i386 is now called 'loader' to permit the
   /boot directory to use that name.
 - Discard the old i386 pread() function, as it's replaced by
   arch_readin()

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.  This file
was last revised on: $Id: README,v 1.11 1997/08/09 14:36:20 jkh Exp $

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most
commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs
everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the
kernel and the contents of /etc.  Please see the top of the Makefile
in this directory for more information on the standard build targets
and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel with config(8) is a somewhat more involved process,
documentation for which can be found at:
   http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html
And in the config(8) man page.

The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/i386/conf
sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the
file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation
kernel.  The file LINT contains entries for all possible devices, not
just those commonly used, and is meant more as a general reference
than an actual kernel configuration file (a kernel built from it
wouldn't even run).
