Bruce Evans 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.

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.  This file
was last revised on: $Id$

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.  Please see the top of the Makefile 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).
