put a bunch of crap before the code in .text. Since the firmware
doesn't seem to honour the a.out entry point, we need to include
a little assmbler file which jumps to where we want to be in C.

modules split across several physical medias. Following is how it works:
The splitfs code, when asked to open "foo" looks for a file "foo.split"
which is a text file containing a list of filenames and media names, e.g.
foo.aa "Kernel floppy 1"
foo.ab "Kernel floppy 2"
foo.ac "Kernel and modules floppy"
For each file segment, the process is:
- try to open the file
- prompt "Insert the disk labelled <whatever> and press any key..."
- try to open the file
- return error if file could not be located
RE team is free to use this feature in the upcoming 5.0-DP1.

deep in <stand.h> to eventually include <time.h> to declare the user
version.
This is not quite the right place to declare it, but <stand.h> would
be worse because time() is very MD so it isn't in libstand.
Many places in the boot sources still get the user version using only
1 layer of pollution (#include <sys/time.h>. Some pollute themselves
directly (#include <time.h>). But the boot Makefiles are too broken
to enable warnings for redeclarations.

we map it ourselves behind the scenes though. Add a reboot command.

- Remove change for my local configuration that slipped in with
the last commit; I am having problems booting when multiple SCSI
disks are attached, so I will change this part as soon as I find
a solution, anyway.
- Remove two constants that were needed in conjuction with the
NetBSD disklabel header. Use the FreeBSD equivalents.
To boot from NetBSD/sparc64 partitions, define LABELOFFSET to
be 128.
- Do not use the complete open firmware path to filter out cdrom drives.
No path containing "cdrom" is detected as a disk now.
- Simplify some code.
This allows obtaining crash dumps from the panics occured during late stages
of kernel initialisation before system enters into single-user mode.

-current, but RELENG_4 has apparently just exceeded the 15-sector

because the buffers we use could end up spanning a 64k boundary.
Unfortunately it causes too much bloat (228 -> 72 bytes free) to
just reinstate the old malloc() function.
Instead, define a structure that contains all 4 buffers which must
not cross 64k boundaries. We allocate a 64k-aligned instance in
main() using the magic that was in the old boot2 malloc() function.
This brings the free space down to 168 bytes, but that is still
better than it was before revision 1.35 (136 bytes).

larger than 8k. We now use 4k buffers regardless of the filesystem
block size, so there is no longer a static limit.
Simply increasing the buffer size from 8k to 16k as done on the
i386 doesn't work on the alpha, probably because it causes us
to overshoot boot1's 48k runtime memory limit.

All the alpha loaders should use the same version file. Also, we might
should merge the various loaders (cdboot, loader, netboot) into one loader
that can boot off of disks, CD's, and network devices. The version bump
is needed so the FICL scripts won't bomb out thinking that the netboot
binary is too old.
backing out the 1024 sector boot0, but revision 1.12 had nothing to do with
that. Instead, it documented various compile time options for boot0 and
allowed them to be overridden via make.conf or options on the make
command line.
- Change the 'fopen' keyword to accept a mode parameter. Note that this
will break existing 4th scripts that use fopen. Thus, the loader
version has been bumped and loader.4th has been changed to check for a
sufficient version on i386 and alpha. Be sure that you either do a full
world build or install or full build and install of sys/boot after this
since loader.old won't work with the new 4th files and vice versa.

This flag adds a pausing utility. When ran with -p, during the kernel
probing phase, the kernel will pause after each line of output.
This pausing can be ended with the '.' key, and is automatically
suspended when entering ddb.
This flag comes in handy at systems without a serial port that either hang
during booting or reser.

On OFW based machines, it is just too confusing having the firmware and

to the El Torito standard for CD booting, a CD may boot in "No emulation"
mode without using a floppy image. In this mode, the BIOS loads a program
off of the CD into memory and creates a BIOS device using 2048 byte sectors
for the CD. According to the standard, this program can be up to 0xFFFF
virtual (512-byte) sectors long. The old cdldr depended on this by having
the BIOS load the entire loader and the small cdldr stub as one binary
similar to pxeboot so that cdldr didn't have to read the CD to find the
loader. However, the NT no emulation loader just uses 1 disk sector
(4 virtual sectors), so it seems that at least some BIOS writers just did
enough to get NT to boot by only loading 1 sector and ignoring the sector
count. Thus, while cdldr should have worked in theory, it doesn't in
practice. This replacment fits entirely in 1 sector and includes simple
ISO 9660 support. It looks for /boot/loader on the CD and loads it up
using the BIOS. This allows us to not have to depend on the limited size
of floppy images but use a full GENERIC kernel for CD-ROM installs in the
future, among other things.
This version of cdboot is a bit bloated as it includes some useful
debugging routines that people can pull to use in other x86 assembly
modules. Even with all the debugging cruft, we still have 272 bytes to
spare.
