633be11491 Replace "/etc/make.conf" with references to make.conf(5)
where applicable.  The main reason for this change is that
the location of make.conf is not constant and can be
modified via __MAKE_CONF.  This change also improves
hyper-text linkage in our manpages.

1161399eef Add the ability to specify the boot2 serial console speed in
/boot.config or on the "boot:" prompt line via a "-S<speed>" flag,
e.g. "-h -S19200". This adds about 50 bytes to the size of boot2
and required a few other small changes to limit the size impact.
This changes only affects boot2; there are further loader changes
to follow.

106964bd37 The kernel specified in main() of reboot(8) will be initialized
with -k option and never be used without kflag.  This confuses
gcc because we set "kflag" at the same time with "kernel", but
the logic is not that apparant for gcc.

Since we can initialize "kernel" to NULL then know if "k" option
is set through determining whether it is still NULL, don't try
to have gcc to guess why we are connecting "kflag" with "kernel"
and use "kernel" directly in place of kflag.

bf38b1ddea Fixed desctiptions of some options:
- Document better what the -C option means.
- The -c option is currently a no-op.
- The -D and -h options do not allow switching between
  single/dual console modes and internal/video consoles.
  (This used to be true for the old biosdisk boot code,
  but now they just force the multiple consoles mode and
  serial console, respectively.)

3997bed507 When kill(-1) returns ESRCH, it could be because the current process
doesn't have a process group, which can occur if you're working with
a custom init that doesn't set up a full tty context.  Rather than
refusing to reboot, ignore ESRCH from the kill attempt in reboot(8).

01d6c8879f Document behaviour change in reboot(8) introduced in reboot.c rev. 1.17:
when using '-p' with reboot, and the power down action failds, reboot
the system normally. The behaviour of 'halt -p' and of shutdown(8) is
unchanged.

4960ffbcf1 Set only the RB_POWEROFF flag (not the RB_HALT flag) when
'-p' is used on the reboot(8) command line.

This is intended for use when you want to attempt a power down
action, but you want the system to reboot (not halt) if the
power down action fails.

This is typically useful when the power-off action performed by
the kernel consists in signalling an uninterrupted power supply
that it should shut down its inverter if mains power has not returned.

The behaviour of shutdown(8) and init(8) is not modified;
only the behaviour of invoking 'reboot -p' manually is
modified, and then only in the case when a power-down action
fails.

210f257e4e Rename the file used to specify the nextboot to make it clear that this

9bf40bea60 Add a -k option to reboot to specify the kernel to boot next time
around.  If the kernel boots successfully, the record of this kernel
is erased, it is intended to be a one-shot option for testing
kernels.

This could be improved by having the loader remove the record of
the next kernel to boot, it is currently removed in /etc/rc immediately
after disks are mounted r/w.

I'd like to MFC this before the 4.6 freeze unless there is violent
objection.
