9949ebf656 1. BOOTSEG and BOOTSTACK are now set from the Makefile, the boot code has
been relocated to run in the 64k segment at 0x10000 with the stack at
    the top of this segment.  This corrects the problems machines with 512K
    base memory had booting.

2.  startprog routing rewritten to convert the BOOTSEG ss to a KERNELSEG
    ss, this eliminated the last of the >512K memory references.  Additional
    cleanup in here included a better way to copy the arguments to the
    kernel stack.

3.  Elimination of argv and esym cruft saved a few bytes.

4.  Only need to truncate the head.a_entry to a meg boundary once intead
    of every time we used it!  [Saving more bytes].

5.  Addition of version 1 bootinfo structure support.  These boot blocks
    pass the kernel name in to the kernel now.

6.  Removed historical comments about MACH argv stuff, as it is useless now.

12fafb2d5a 1. Completely rewritten Makefile that uses bsd.prog.mk more effectively.
2.  Clean up the .S files to use /* */ style comments.

This is a totally cosmetic change, not one byte of the resulting boot
code changes.  But at least it is installed with correct owners and in
the right places, and gets recompiled correctly when things change!

2c22dd40a2 Conditionalize support for my debugger. This normally saves 304 bytes. 1994-08-30 01:38:04 +00:00

dd05fde699 Removed all patch kit headers, sccsid and rcsid strings, put $Id$ in, some
minor cleanup.  Added $Id$ to files that did not have any version info, etc

f7710986e2 New boot blocks, from Bruce Evans, and NetBSD fixes. Allows kernel to
be loaded above 1MB.  Same boot code for floppies now.  Speed improvements.
etc etc etc. (I don't have much history on this, but then have been tested)
