7ac90f7d65 Drop the familiar 'text=xxxx data=xxxx bss=xxxx ...' display while
loading.  This eliminates noise when loading boot/loader; and when
loading a kernel, they generally flash by too fast to be
intelligible anyway.

9888bdcd29 boot1: Eliminate EDD detection and optional use of disk packet
interface.  Do some general consistency fixes and space optimizations.
Use of some freed-up space to defend against possible BIOS misfeatures.

boot2: Revise disk read interface to provide for boot1 changes.  Free
up space for this.

ae99ddc79e Fix some glitches in the input routine:
Don't display a \b if not acting on it.
Don't process binary zero chars (which result from pressing function
keys, etc. on the PC).

918ddbed16 Having probed the keyboard, turn off the -P flag. 1998-10-17 10:35:15 +00:00

93d51dcaf9 Treat all options as toggles (ie. -c -c is the same no -c). Since
the boot.config settings are persistent, this seems to provide a
useful override capability, and should break only on broken
boot.config's.

Output a cosmetic newline if booting with no input.

If we have a boot.config command, display it.

7fa25d805a biosboot compatibility fix:
Read boot.help before parsing boot.config.  We were parsing
boot.config first, which could result in boot.help being read
from a different location (or not found), which would probably
just cause surprise, without being useful.
