hack in the moment for testing purposes and to get the drive going
again.
0x20 means empty drive.
0x30 means closed drive with CDROM inserted.
0x80 means drive pulled out, but door closed.
0xa0 means drive pulled out and door open.
Luckily none of these values are the same as that reported for Ethernet
cards ( 0 for WD8003E, 0x40 for WD8013EPC, 0x60 for NE2000).
The bad part is, the probe code gets the WD8003E so hosed, that it is
no longer usable after it. No problem with the WD8013EPC.
my previous fix too (using wdp_heads controller value) and check
0 heads case too.
Other fixes from Bruce:
2) Fix dk_timeout from 2 to about 4 seconds.
3) wdcontrol not retried on internal error.
4) wdwait return check changed ( "!=0" to "<0" into wdsetctlr,
"<0" to "!=0" into wdgetctlr).
This inetrface should be used from now on.
pseudo device pty xx still keeps its meaning: a maximum of
xx ptys is allowed.
A ringbuffer is now 2040 bytes long, per Garrett Wollman's request.
The changes are inspired by the way NetBSD did it (thanks for that!),
though I made it slihghtly different, including the interface so
at least 75% of the allocated space is deallocated when the tty is
closed.
Note further that it is easy to modify the ringbuffer length runtime.
This will have to wait untill some later date...

Subject: cache botch in bootstrap
Date: Sun, 20 Feb 94 18:14:35 +1100
The cache in the bootstrap loader didn't allow for the device changing.
This caused surprisingly little trouble - the cache is only for a single
track (or part of a track), and the first access to a new device is
always for an early sector, so there is no problem unless the last access
to the old device was for an early sector. I saw the problem on a system
with BSD on wd1 and no label on wd0. Everything worked if the the device
name wd(1,a) was specified before the default of wd(0,a) was tried, but
when the default was tried, it failed on the first sector because there
was no label, and then the first sector on wd0 was always used instead
of the first sector on wd1, so there was apparently no label on wd1
either.

Subject: Bugfix for SB16 with DSP version 4 and above
No description sent, but it appears to fix a major number problem
with certain models of the SB16.
Small hack, if heads > 16, output a warning and then set the head
count to 16. This stops the infinite loop on this error and allows
people to later fix the DOS parameter table later with fdisk.
run Exabyte 8505 on 1742's. This may not be the final solution, but it
makes it work. It may be better to change the DELAY(10) to DELAY(30)
inside the loop instead of increasing the loop count from 100 to 300.
Subject: Bug Fix for ft.c - please commit
Date: Mon, 14 Feb 94 10:22:54 CST
This fixes a bug where the system can crash if the tape is used
after the floppy has been used.
a pv chain was being traversed while interrupts were
fully enabled in pmap_remove_all ... this is bogus, and
has been fixed in pmap.c. (sorry for adding the splimp)
Description:
The integer overflow instruction (into) and the interrupt instruction with
value 4 (int #4) both give rise to SIGBUS signals rather than SIGFPE. The
problem is that overflow is a trap not a fault (unlike the BOUND instruction).
