be booted. Due to a bug, this wasn't happening.
There is still a lesser bug in that the loader decides which file to boot
after the 10sec count down. This means the bootfile listed in the count
down in is wrong in the case where the loader will boot /kernel.old.
- Add support for using the PCI BIOS functions for configuration space
accesses, and make this the default.
- Make PNPBIOS the default (obsoletes the PNPBIOS config option).
- Add two new boot-time tunables to disable each of the above.
was the last unit number received. If it changes, it flushes the cache.
Add bcache_flash().
The actual fix is sligthly different from the one in the PR.

is an application space macro and the applications are supposed to be free
to use it as they please (but cannot). This is consistant with the other
BSD's who made this change quite some time ago. More commits to come.
Mike says the whole idea of a current device was a bad idea in first place,
and will be doing away with currdev.
Anyway, people are not supposed to even notice this. :-)
* Make it possible to type a filename to boot1 so that it is possible to
recover from fatally broken versions of /boot/loader.
* Make a start at a CD boot program (not yet functional).
numbers that we have been doing in the past, and read /etc/fstab off the
proposed root filesystem to determine the actual device name and vfs
type for the root filesystem. These are then exported to the kernel
via the environment variable vfs.root.mountfrom.
Use colons instead of semi-colons in the default init_path to behave like
UNIX instead of DOS.

* Make the network code in the bootstrap more chatty (helps debugging)
* Add nfs root stuff to cpu_rootconf(). I also added a check to make sure
it really was netbooting which allows the use of the same kernel for local
and network boots.
* Tweak the de driver so that it takes the speed setting from the console
for the alpha (some PWSs have broken de chipsets). This is the same
behaviour as NetBSD/alpha.

i386 platform boots, it is no longer ISA-centric, and is fully dynamic.
Most old drivers compile and run without modification via 'compatability
shims' to enable a smoother transition. eisa, isapnp and pccard* are
not yet using the new resource manager. Once fully converted, all drivers
will be loadable, including PCI and ISA.
(Some other changes appear to have snuck in, including a port of Soren's
ATA driver to the Alpha. Soren, back this out if you need to.)
This is a checkpoint of work-in-progress, but is quite functional.
The bulk of the work was done over the last few years by Doug Rabson and
Garrett Wollman.
