Add freebsd.fr, for FreeBSD specific forth source. Add $ and %, to
replace the lost @ and - functionality of include. $ has the opposite
behavior of @ though, since the default behavior was inverted.
Change include() so it will be able to load files with forth code,
instead of just builtins. Remove #@- from the include section of the
help file, since they don't work in the new version of include, unless
BOOT_FORTH is not defined.
Change bf_run() so it will return the result returned by ficlExec(). Also,
make bf_run() push "interpret" to be executed by ficlExec(), since ficlExec()
doesn't do it by itself. (Things worked previously because nothing
recursed through ficlExec() by the way of bf_run()).
Change/extend comments on builtin behavior.
Search for "interpret" at the end of bf_init(), so /boot/boot.4th can
provide it's own version.
Remove dead code.

bootinfo structure where bi_esymtab < bi_symtab was being passed

This should resolve a problem reported on -current by Peter Jeremy
<peter.jeremy@auss2.alcatel.com.au>.
I added a FICL_TRACE-conditioned trace facility based on "see".
It is ugly because words' functions are almost all static, and ficlExec,
where the trace has to be located, can't get their pointers. So, #ifdef
this staticization, and add most of see's body into ficlExec. Duplication
of code, uglyness, etc. But it is cleanly #ifdef'ed, and works like a
charm.
It does not provide "step" facility, though, just trace. It is
tunable at run-time through "trace!". If anyone (most likely me :) ever
wants a step facility, I'll add it. Should be easy.

FICL's TYPE copies the counted string to HERE, as abial has
remarked. Answering to abial's question, this is NOT garanteed to have
enough space.

We have dynamic memory. Even before memory-alloc got in, we
already had dynamic memory. Use it, then! (ficlMalloc is sysdep, so I
suppose that's why it was not used for TYPE; ficl is probably designed
to work without a working ficlFree).

'num_ide_disks' and makes it possible to explicitly set the

Move the relocated boot1 and arg transfer space from 0x600/0x800 to
0x700/0x900. In theory this should make no difference, apart from the fact
that Buslogic controllers happen to use a few bytes at 0x600 for some sort
of scratch space for it's int 0x13 hook (!!!), causing the machine to crash
badly when the boot2 code makes it's callbacks into boot1 for disk IO.

the first time block 0 is read. This fix initialises the block
numbers to -1 which isn't the most correct thing for a daddr_t but
it isn't likely to cause a problem in the boot blocks and it could
do with a more thought out fix later.
The bug is probably benign on the i386 but on the alpha it can
cause initial file opens to fail. This is the cause of the "can't
open /boot/boot.conf" errors.
It appears on the alpha because of a number of combining factors.
On the alpha the LABELSECTOR is 0 so block 0 needs to be read in
from the media. The first time this happens you get a false hit
because the bc_blkno field is zero initially. Also, the timestamp
check against this cache hit succeeds because on the alpha a hacked
getsecs() function can return 0 when it starts counting so that
the zero initial timestamp + BCACHE_TIMEOUT is greater than the
current time until getsecs() has counted passed BCACHE_TIMEOUT.
The overall effect is that the first open() that occurs gets a
false cache hit and returns garbage to the bd_strategy() function
which then fails the open() call. This false hit then stays in the
cache until BCACHE_TIMEOUT getsecs() ticks have passed; all open()
calls during this time fail.
This explains why you can generally access the media by the time
you get to interp() and start issuing commands but the earlier
attempts to run the boot scripts are failing.
It's possible that this is causing the problem switching to the
mfsroot floppy as well but I haven't confirmed that.

this will allow us to manage bloat in the loader by using a bytecoded HLL
rather than lots of C code. It also offers an opportunity for vendors
or others with special applications to significantly customise the boot
process without having to commit to a divergent code branch.
This early commit is to allow others to experiment with the most effective
mechanisms for integrating FICL with the loader as it currently stands.

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.
