/dev/?random devices. This appears to have been missed when the code
was brought across from the i386. (This should fix the "world build
hangs with everything waiting on 'temp' problem.)
Also add some iovec fixup code in the error path which seems to have
been similarly fixed.
There are a number of other differences between the i386 and alpha
version which have not been examined. This code should still be
considered suspect.
be booted. Due to a bug, this wasn't happening.
There is still a lesser bug in that the loader decides which file to boot
after the 10sec count down. This means the bootfile listed in the count
down in is wrong in the case where the loader will boot /kernel.old.
FICL. bootforth is now live on the Alpha!
**BEWARE** - you *MUST* build and install a current libstand or you will
most likely get zfree() panics at loader startup.
We should now be able to set up the loader.conf stuff on the Alpha too.
was not the fault of the module code, nor FICL. The malloc code requires
sbrk() to return addresses that were at least 16 byte aligned. If the
Alpha loader happened to be 8 byte but not 16 byte aligned in length, then
you would get a zfree() panic at startup.
Incidently, this affected the i386 loader as well, and explains why
the static heap changed things and why jlemon had trouble when the bss
was not ending at a multiple of 8 bytes.
My fix is to 16 byte align it on all arches, even though the x86 version
only required 8 byte alignment (struct MemNode is smaller there). We could
page align it if we wanted to be paranoid, but it isn't presently necessary.

header, initialize csum_flags to zero as well, so the delayed_checksum

This is almost certainly an alpha infrastructure bug, not a FICL
problem. It's probably the same thing that made FICL fail for no
apparent reason on the Alpha.
NETGRAPH is not present in GENERIC at the moment. Also, change some
settings to support USB installs:
- Add KBD_INSTALL_CDEV as an option to make /dev/kbd[01] actually work.
- Turn on keyboard probing in sc0. The syscons driver will now use a
flag documented in ukbd(4) but not in sc(4) that tells syscons to
actively search for a keyboard device if none is found. This allows
USB keyboards to just be plugged in and instantly start working.
- Require the atkbd0 driver to actually probe to see if a keyboard is
there. This allows USB keyboards to be seen by sc0 if an AT keyboard
isn't plugged into the computer. This also means that you will no
longer be able to plug an AT keyboard into a machine after it has
booted a GENERIC kernel and use it. AT keyboards aren't designed for
this anyway. USB keyboards are designed for this, and they work.
