d343a5cdea Remove the string ">>> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT". I need to reduce the size of 
boot2 by 16 bytes.  I expect this to be temperary until the boot2 authors
can do the proper fix.

c74450fa3d Save option, rather than slice, selected. This permits unattended

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.

1e566c5505 biosdisk.c 
Implement a new variable 'root_disk_unit' which supersedes
	'num_ide_disks' and makes it possible to explicitly set the
	root device unit number regardless of type considerations.

bootinfo.c
	If we can't calculate a dev_t for the root disk, complain and
	don't proceed to boot with an invalid boot device.

488523664e Transition from using Perl to using awk for our text-manipulation

6f74dc01b4 Damn, I thought I had committed this already, but it seems not. 
Move the relocated boot1 and arg transfer space from 0x600/0x800 to
0x700/0x900.  In theory this should make no difference, apart from the fact
that Buslogic controllers happen to use a few bytes at 0x600 for some sort
of scratch space for it's int 0x13 hook (!!!), causing the machine to crash
badly when the boot2 code makes it's callbacks into boot1 for disk IO.

capabilities are: AF, AB, cm, ho, me, cd. The code is hidden behind
-DTERM_EMU - should it cause any problems, you can remove this define
to get back the old behaviour.

You'll find some examples how to use it in src/share/examples/bootforth.
