69b9dc90e9 Get the pysical address for id_maddr when opening an -incore kernel.
This fixes the kernel panic when propagating userconfig changes to
arbitrary kernels.

Remove obsoleted `#include <tcl.h>' added a few <stdio.h> where
necessary.

Fix getting scsi bus information from an -incore kernel.

Turned on SAVE_USERCONFIG by default.

1689251411 Some cosmetic tweaks, attempt to fix package wait problem by checking
for error return as well (not sure if this is it, but it's one possible
explanation).

2bb87dfc53 Ahem. It might be nice if I included /usr/src/contrib in with the other
src dists.  This alone is a good reason to re-roll the SNAP before putting
it on CD.

5ab8a530e6 Make the save_userconfig() stuff conditional and turned off by default

4da4b8bed3 1. Change device probing so that high speed network devices are found before
SLIP/PPP devices, putting them before the others in the network device
   selection menu.

2. Change "Other" to "URL" so as not to conflict with the keyboard accellerator
   for the "OK" button in FTP site selection menu.

3. Detect the NULL last symbol in the name list and initialize the other
   members correctly.

92667e3313 Multiple changes stacked as one commit since they all depend on one another.
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").

6a223e1fce Temporarily disable userconfig saving until I figure out why uc_open()
loops internally for BOOTMFS (not being able to run gdb on sysinstall

7b9bca9cdf Check return values from uc_open() correctly. Note: This seems to work
