fbcc8bb5ab Found the needle in the haystack! 
Use colons instead of semi-colons in the default init_path to behave like
UNIX instead of DOS.

7648580bdb Don't try protecting page 0; it seems that BIOS writers now feel it's 
appropriate to check for Windows95 by polling for state in low
memory, with fatal results.

488523664e Transition from using Perl to using awk for our text-manipulation 
needs.  This removes the dependancy on Perl for the generation of the
loader, allowing the world to be built on a perl-free system.

527d380042 Preserve the previous loader as loader.old. 
Note no matching commit for the Alpha, as the alpha boot0 stage does
not have the ability to prompt for user input.

dc29b5609b kzip the loader, this shrinks it to about 60% of its original size.

untested).  Only suitable for i386 at the moment, as we are missing
setjmp/longjmp on the Alpha.

7ff854a690 Implement a simple LRU block cache. By default this is initialised to 16k, 
and will bypass transfers for more than 8k.  Blocks are invalidated after
2 seconds, so removable media should not confuse the cache.

The 8k threshold is a compromise; all UFS transfers performed by
libstand are 8k or less, so large file reads thrash the cache.
However many filesystem metadata operations are also performed using
8k blocks, so using a lower threshold gives poor performance.

Those of you with an eye for cache algorithms are welcome to tell me
how badly this one sucks; you can start with the 'bcachestats' command
which will print the contents of the cache and access statistics.

27a325f105 - Add a new command 'lsdev' to list devices which might be likely to host 
filesystems.
 - New 'help' command and data in the help.* files (not yet installed),
   provides topic and subtopic help, indexes, etc.
 - Don't crash if the user tries to set an invalid console.  Be helpful
   instead.
 - Expand tabs (badly) on the i386 video console.
 - Some minor cosmetic changes.

5e3acbf57e Try and get the sys/* and machine/* includes via relative paths. This
