things over floppy size limits, I can exclude it for release builds or
something like that. Most of the changes are to get the load_elf.c file
into a seperate elf32_ or elf64_ namespace so that you can have two
ELF loaders present at once. Note that for 64 bit kernels, it actually
starts up the kernel already in 64 bit mode with paging enabled. This
is really easy because we have a known minimum feature set.
Of note is that for amd64, we have to pass in the bios int 15 0xe821
memory map because once in long mode, you absolutely cannot make VM86
calls. amd64 does not use 'struct bootinfo' at all. It is a pure loader
metadata startup, just like sparc64 and powerpc. Much of the
infrastructure to support this was adapted from sparc64.
Move the remaining bits of <sys/diskslice.h> to <i386/include/bootinfo.h>
Move i386/pc98 specific bits from <sys/reboot.h> to
<i386/include/bootinfo.h> as well.
Adjust includes in sys/boot accordingly.
Get rid of the INTERNALSTATICLIB knob and just use plain INTERNALLIB.
INTERNALLIB now means to build static library only and don't install
anything. Added a NOINSTALLLIB knob for libpam/modules. To not
build any library at all, just do not set LIB.
a simple version of bcopy() so we avoid picking up the overly-complex
implementation in libc (via libstand). This is not necessary on
-current, but RELENG_4 has apparently just exceeded the 15-sector
limit for boot1.

larger than 8k. We now use 4k buffers regardless of the filesystem
block size, so there is no longer a static limit.
Simply increasing the buffer size from 8k to 16k as done on the
i386 doesn't work on the alpha, probably because it causes us
to overshoot boot1's 48k runtime memory limit.

All the alpha loaders should use the same version file. Also, we might
should merge the various loaders (cdboot, loader, netboot) into one loader
that can boot off of disks, CD's, and network devices. The version bump
is needed so the FICL scripts won't bomb out thinking that the netboot
binary is too old.
- Change the 'fopen' keyword to accept a mode parameter. Note that this
will break existing 4th scripts that use fopen. Thus, the loader
version has been bumped and loader.4th has been changed to check for a
sufficient version on i386 and alpha. Be sure that you either do a full
world build or install or full build and install of sys/boot after this
since loader.old won't work with the new 4th files and vice versa.

make(1) wants to build loader.sym *before* the .o files. Eliminating
one seeminly intermediate step avoids the problem. Somehow, it seems
that variables are not getting expanded at the right time.
Any explanations would be appreciated...
Changing:
${BASE}.sym: ${OBJS} ${LIBSTAND} ${LIBFICL} ${LIBALPHA} ${CRT} vers.o
${LD} ...
To:
BASEOBJS= ${OBJS} ${LIBSTAND} ${LIBFICL} ${LIBALPHA} ${CRT} vers.o
${BASE}.sym: ${BASEOBJS}
echo ${BASEOBJS}
${LD} ...
.. the echo only shows LIBFICL, CRT and vers.o. ${OBJS} is not included.
The release engineer keeps using the wrong /boot/cdboot when creating the
ISO images. So we'll add the 4.0-RELEASE cdboot to the tree until someone
bothers to fix the source so a working `cdboot' is built.
to reinstall boot1 after a 'make world'.
Unfortunately this means that people who have already installed a new
boot1 from a 'make world' after 2000/09/18 *must* reinstall it after
their next build using something like:
# disklabel -B /dev/da0c
expands beyond the limit we will extend the address space before trying
to zero the BSS. This should give us plenty of headroom for modest
expansion of the loader.
