First, change sysinstall and the Makefile rules to not build the kernel
nlist directly into sysinstall now. Instead, spit it out as an ascii
file in /stand and parse it from sysinstall later. This solves the chicken-n-
egg problem of building sysinstall into the fsimage before BOOTMFS is built
and can have its symbols extracted. Now we generate the symbol file in
release.8.
Second, add Poul-Henning's USERCONFIG_BOOT changes. These have two
effects:
1. Userconfig is always entered, rather than only after a -c
(don't scream yet, it's not as bad as it sounds).
2. Userconfig reads a message string which can optionally be
written just past the boot blocks. This string "preloads"
the userconfig input buffer and is parsed as user input.
If the first command is not "USERCONFIG", userconfig will
treat this as an implied "quit" (which is why you don't need
to scream - you never even know you went through userconfig
and back out again if you don't specifically ask for it),
otherwise it will read and execute the following commands
until a "quit" is seen or the end is reached, in which case
the normal userconfig command prompt will then be presented.
How to create your own startup sequences, using any boot.flp image
from the next snap forward (not yet, but soon):
% dd of=/dev/rfd0 seek=1 bs=512 count=1 conv=sync <<WAKKA_WAKKA_DOO
USERCONFIG
irq ed0 10
iomem ed0 0xcc000
disable ed1
quit
WAKKA_WAKKA_DOO
Third, add an intro screen to UserConfig so that users aren't just thrown
into this strange screen if userconfig is auto-launched. The default
boot.flp startup sequence is now, in fact, this:
USERCONFIG
intro
visual
(Since visual never returns, we don't need a following "quit").

for headers in the compile directory work unsurprisingly. Without
-I-, the search for "foo.h" begins in the directory of the file
that includes it, and the compile directory is only searched because
`-I.' is in ${INCLUDES}.
Removed -I$S/sys from ${INCLUDES}. It was once necessary to find
things like "param.h" in $S/sys. Now <sys/param.h> is found in $S.
I maintain that it saves more power to simply "hlt" the CPU than to
spend tons of time trying to tell the APM bios to do the same.
In particular if you do it 100 times a second...
bsd.obj.mk. Also, a make target called objwarn checks to see
if ${.OBJDIR} != ${.CURDIR} and ${.OBJDIR} != ${CANONICALOBJDIR}
and outputs a warning. (No warning for the latter if MAKEOBJDIR or MAKEOBJDIRP
REFIX is set). objwarn is called from all targets in bsd.prog.mk, bsd.kmod.mk,
and bsd.lib.mk.

(2) Move PC98 specific code out of cpufunc.h (to pc98.h)

It worked because it is spelled correctly in LINT.
Added old obscure syscons options MAXCONS, SLOW_VGA and XT_KEYBOARD.
This file should be sorted both alphabetically and on the module
name by using a consistent prefix for each module, but there is no
consistency in the old options. E.g., MAXCONS is spelled PCVT_NSCREENS
for pcvt.
If you define this, it means your keyboard is actually probable using the
brain-dammaged probe routine in syscons, and if the keyboard is NOT found,
then you don't want syscons to activate itself further.
This makes life sane for those of us who use serial consoles most of the
time and want "the right thing" to happen when we plug a keyboard in.

The only excuse this had for becoming misordered was that some drivers
were sorted on the driver name field, but the ffs versus mfs ordering
shows that this is not a consistent order.
The only case that I know of where simple sorting is wrong is for files
that must be compiled without profiling if profiling is configured and
normally otherwise. Then the line with `profiling-routine' must appear
first to get the file compiled with ${PROFILE_C}.
interfaces. This creates two new tables in the net.link.generic branch
of the MIB; one contains (essentially) `ifdata' structures, and the other
contains a blob provided by the interface (and presumably used to
implement link-layer-specific MIB variables). A number of things
have been moved around in the `ifnet' and `ifdata' structures, so
NEW VERSIONS OF ifconfig(8) AND routed(8) ARE REQUIRED. (A simple
recompile is all that's necessary.)
I have a sample program which uses this interface for those interested
in making use of it.
This code applies to several systems with integrated Ethernet
chip, for example from HP or Compaq. It should also support
PCI Ethernet cards based on the AMD PCI Lance chip.
This code has been reviewed (visually) by Paul Richards and
tested (using an ISA Lance board) by Joerg Wunsch.
Since the parameters to nearly each and every single function
had to be changed (generally from unit number to lnc_soft*),
there is some potential for buglets having crept in ...
BEWARE: If you had lnc0 configured to have the ISA probe find
your PCI Lance, then it should now be found by the PCI probe,
and should be automatically configured as pci1 (!!! note the "1").

Line speeds of up to 2Mbps is possible. At this speed about 95% of the
bandwidth is usable with 486DX processors.
The standard FreeBSD sppp code is used for the link level layer. The
default protocol used is PPP. The Cisco HDLC protocol can be used by
adding "link2" to the ifconfig line in /etc/sysconfig or where ever
ifconfig is run.
At the moment only the X.21 interface is tested. The others may need
tweaks to the clock selection code.
