and released. It should use `spcl' consistently in both cases,
otherwise shift/control/alt state may not be correctly set/reset.
(Even with this fix, you can still make syscons confused and fail to
change internal state if you really want to, by installing a really
arcane and artificial keymap.)

Caveat emptor: i cannot test this right now.
This is the long-threatened ISO 9660 CD-ROM bootstrap code.
This work has been sponsored by Plutotech International, Inc (who paid
the initial work), and interface business GmbH (where i did most of
the work). A big thanks also goes to Bruce Evans, for his continuing
help and answering my stupid questions.
The code is basically functioning, with the following caveats:
. Rock Ridge attributes are not yet supported.
. Only SCSI CD-ROMs are supported, since i fail to see any possibility
to determine the drive type using BIOS functions. (Even for hard disks,
this determination is done by a big hack only.)
. El Torito specifies a lot of crap and useless misfeatures, but crucial
things like the ability to figure out the CD TOC have been ``forgotten''.
Thus, if you wanna boot a multisession CD, you need to know at which CD
block your session starts, and need to speciffy it using the @ clause.
. None of the CD-ROM controllers i've seen so far implements the full
El Torito specification at all. Adaptec is probably the closest, but
they miss on non-emulation booting (which would be the most logical
choice for us). Thus, the current code bloats the 7.5 KB boot code
up to 1.44 MB, in order to fake a `floppy' image.
If you wanna use it, specify this file as the boot image on the
command-line of the mksiosfs command (option -b).
Caveat emptor: some versions of the Adaptec BIOS might even fail to
access the CD-ROM at all, using the BIOS functions. I think i've
notice this for ver 1.26, the code has been tested with ver 1.23.
The boot string is as follows:
[@sess-start] [filename] [-flags]
sess-start Extend # where the last session starts, measured in
CD-ROM blocks.
filename As usual, but the input is case-insensitive by now
(since we don't grok RR anyway).
flags As usual, but -C (use CDROM root f/s) is default, so
specifying -C will decactivate this option (which is
probably not what you want :).
A lot of cleanup work is probably required, and some of the files
could/should be merged back to biosboot, perhaps made conditional on
some #ifdef. The malloc implementation that comes with cdboot might
also be useful for kzipboot. (I needed a malloc() since the root dir
ain't fixed in size on a CD.)
I've been testing all this with a 2.2-STABLE as the base for biosboot.
I don't expect too many surprises, although i know the biosboot stuff
has been changed a lot in -current lately. I'm sure Bruce will
comment on all this here anyway. :-)

it can't work (it will be disabled at runtime), but I like to leave
the PERFMON configuration alone when I temporarily disable support for
modern CPUs to run regression tests.
Removed an unused #include.
- Added the psm options PSM_HOOKAPM and PSM_RESETAFTERSUSPEND.
LINT:
- Added the psm options PSM_HOOKAPM and PSM_RESETAFTERSUSPEND.
- Added comments on the flag 0x20 for syscons.
- Clarified descriptions on the flags (0x02, 0x04) regarding the cursor
shape in syscons.
cursor (CHAR_CURSOR)
1. Reduced the number of calls to set_destructive_cursor(). The
destructive cursor produced noticeable overhead on the system. It was
caused by draw_cursor_image() calling set_destructive_cursor() every
so often.
set_destructive_cursor() absolutely needs to be called when
a) the character code under the cursor has changed either because
the cursor moved or because the screen was updated or the mouse
pointer overlapped the cursor.
b) Or a new font has been loaded,
c) or the video mode has been changed,
d) or the cursor shape has been changed,
e) or the user switched virtual consoles.
2. Turn off the configuration flag CHAR_CURSOR (destructive cursor) in
scattach() if we have a non-VGA card. The destructive cursor works
only for VGA.
3. Removed redundant calls to set_destructive_cursor() in some places.
4. Fixed the "disappearing mouse pointer" problem. The mouse pointer
looked hidden under the destructive cursor when it overlaped the cursor.
A slightly different version of the patch was reviewd and OKed by
sos and ache.
If the configuration option PSM_HOOKAPM is defined and the APM device
is available, the psm driver will issue the ENABLE command to the
pointing device at the resume APM event if the device was open when
the system went into suspended mode. If the option
PSM_RESETAFTERSUSPEND is specified in addition to PSM_HOOKAPM, the
driver will try to reset the pointing device before sending the
ENABLE command.
Built-in PS/2-type pointing devices in some laptops (all the reports I
heard were about Toshiba models) sometimes don't work immediately
after the system is resumed. The device MAY become available after a
while. The system may exhibit the same symptom in other OS's too
(no, FreeBSD is not the only OS that is suffering :-).
I don't know the correct way of solving this yet, but it's been
reported that issuing the ENABLE command after resumption wakes up the
pointing device.
Without PSM_HOOKAPM, the psm driver behaves in the same way as before.
Problem reported in the bsd-nomads mailing list in Japan.
fix stopped it being used in all cases, because substitution on unset
variables does not work.
When profiling, put -malign-functions=4 in CFLAGS instead of in PROF.
This fixes the histogram counts for profiling support functions. It
gives bogus but harmless extra alignment for genassym etc.
Add a new configuration flag, KBD_NORESET (0x20) to tell scprobe() not
to reset the keyboard.
IBM ThinkPad 535 has the `Fn' key with which the user can perform
certain functions in conjunction with other keys. For example, `Fn' +
PageUP/PageDOWN adjust speaker volume, `Fn' + Home/End change
brightness of LCD screen. It can also be used to suspend the system.
It appears that these functions are implemented at the keyboard level
or the keyboard controller level and totally independent from BIOS or
OS. But, if the keyboard is reset (as is done in scprobe()), they
become unavailable. (There are other laptops which have similar
functions associated with the `Fn' key. But, they aren't affected by
keyboard reset.)
ThinkPad 535 doesn't have switches or buttons to adjust brightness and
volume, or to put the system into the suspend mode. Therefore, it is
essential to preserve these `Fn' key functions in FreeBSD. The new
flag make scprobe() skip keyboard reset.
If this flag is not set, scprobe() behaves in the same say as before.
(If we only knew a way to detect ThinkPad 535, we could skip keyboard
reset automatically, but...)
