boot(). This is needed so the "serialboot" stuff can share this file,
too.
Everything is #ifdef'ed so it evaluates to nothing when actually been
built in the "biosboot" directory.
The files in this directory are modified version of "biosboot". The
only difference is in that they perform their I/O via a serial port,
so their preferrable usage is to form bootblocks for systems where the
kernel happens to have an "options COMCONSOLE". Most of the code is
actually shared with "biosboot", and make will not (and should not)
descend into this directory by default. It is in the responsibility
of the user to build these bootblocks instead of the original ones.
the APM-bios.
This stabilizes a couple of APM bioses quite a bit.
They all make the mistake of going into 16-bit mode, without clearing the
top half of the 32bit registers.
Later they do a
| movw %si,$0x7331
| movw %ax,0x6(%si)
or something along those lines and crash and burn, because their segment
is already relocated, so adding 0xf0171ce9 to the base of it is bad news.
At least SystemSoft is guilty of this bummer.
Voxware hackers should feel free to work on this some more, it's by no means
a perfect product.
(I have patches for GUS users running 2.x to run their GUS with bidirectional
DMA (talk while listening. All other soundboards must use push-to-talk until
people learn to build real hardware).

worked in the past only because of good fortune. Anyway, use the contig alloc
routine I wrote awhile ago (vm_page_alloc_contig) for the sound code to do
this allocation. Also, specify read+write on the permissions to pmap_enter().
Specifying just read can have unexpected consquences.
<string.h> isn't supposed to be used by the kernel.
cronix.h is <machine/cronix.h>, not "cronyx.h" (ambiguous) or
<sys/cronyx.h> (nonexistent; caused compile to fail).
cxreg.h is <i386/isa/cxreg.h>, not "cxreg.h".
<i386/isa/cpufunc.h> shouldn't be included directly; it is always
included by <sys/systm.h>.
<i386/include/*.h> is <machine/*.h>
<systm.h> is <sys/systm.h>.
<kernel.h> is <sys/kernel.h>.
<bpfilter.h> is "bpfilter.h". It really is in the current directory.
>Description:
If a process attempts to open a floppy tape device when the
device has been configured in the kernel, but did not probe and attach
on bootup, then a panic will occur.
[Review: The current ft situation is a crock, and this only bandaids
an earlier wound inflicted by making the attach conditional. This urgently
requires a review]
