The entire i386 bootstrap was revamped to support automatic detection and
use of the Enhanced Disk Drive BIOS extensions to support booting beyond
the 1023rd cylinder. As part of this change, the FreeBSD boot manager

length (1024 bytes). As a result, several userland changes were made to
cope with MBR boot loaders of varying sizes. [MERGED]
