9292eec80d Add mbr: a standard master boot record intended to replace a couple

372dd86a44 Remove atapi and joy, add svr4 and streams. I wonder if removing vinum
is in order or not... (things are _not_ loaded by default, but it serves
as a reference to people tweaking their own loader.conf files)

957055c6a9 Found the needle in the haystack!
Use colons instead of semi-colons in the default init_path to behave like
UNIX instead of DOS.

84b399de51 Changes to support diskless booting on the alpha:
* Make the network code in the bootstrap more chatty (helps debugging)
* Add nfs root stuff to cpu_rootconf(). I also added a check to make sure
  it really was netbooting which allows the use of the same kernel for local
  and network boots.
* Tweak the de driver so that it takes the speed setting from the console
  for the alpha (some PWSs have broken de chipsets). This is the same
  behaviour as NetBSD/alpha.

notices, add a couple of features.

607c815bef Update #include statements to reflect the new location of "sioreg.h".
With these changes plus the egcs fix I committed a few minutes ago,
"make -DWANT_AOUT world" works again.  Most likely, "make upgrade"
is fixed too, though I haven't tested that.

6182fdbda8 Bring the 'new-bus' to the i386. This extensively changes the way the
i386 platform boots, it is no longer ISA-centric, and is fully dynamic.
Most old drivers compile and run without modification via 'compatability
shims' to enable a smoother transition.  eisa, isapnp and pccard* are
not yet using the new resource manager.  Once fully converted, all drivers
will be loadable, including PCI and ISA.

(Some other changes appear to have snuck in, including a port of Soren's
 ATA driver to the Alpha.  Soren, back this out if you need to.)

This is a checkpoint of work-in-progress, but is quite functional.

The bulk of the work was done over the last few years by Doug Rabson and
Garrett Wollman.

df5ee53868 Remove the string ">>> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT". I need to reduce the size of
boot2 by 16 bytes.  I expect this to be temperary until the boot2 authors
can do the proper fix.

84b4a89764 This is a temporary README file, to help those trying to experiment
with the new boot loader configuration process.  I got a lot of
help from Daniel Sobral, and both Dan and I got help from Mike
Smith.  This really belongs in Warner's UPDATING, but he's not
been answering his email recently, so that will wait a little.

Robert Nordier also gave me a lot of help, but he hasn't seen the
last version, and can't be blamed for my errors.
