0571a0f633 Fill in bi_bios_geom[] in the bootinfo structure passed to the kernel. 
This should resolve the problem raised in PR 12315, and incidentally
makes it easier to determine what geometry the BIOS is actually using
(by way of boot -v and dmesg).

b7771a65a4 Modify the boot loader to recognize the -C flag and pass the RB_CDROM 
flag to the kernel to mount a CDROM as the root filesystem.  Alternatively,
the boot_cdrom env var can be set.

As Mike Smith noted, "-C is the "wrong" way to do this", but this is
an acceptable stopgap in lieu of a better way.

03b6a6f174 Always output a linefeed when we've decided whether to boot 
or display a loader prompt; either we've said
"Booting [%s]..." or we've received a non-line-feed character
and need a '\n' anyway.

57de21f5b6 Changes to support diskless booting on the alpha: 
* Make the network code in the bootstrap more chatty (helps debugging)
* Add nfs root stuff to cpu_rootconf(). I also added a check to make sure
  it really was netbooting which allows the use of the same kernel for local
  and network boots.
* Tweak the de driver so that it takes the speed setting from the console
  for the alpha (some PWSs have broken de chipsets). This is the same
  behaviour as NetBSD/alpha.

43e60106b0 Update #include statements to reflect the new location of "sioreg.h". 
With these changes plus the egcs fix I committed a few minutes ago,
"make -DWANT_AOUT world" works again.  Most likely, "make upgrade"
is fixed too, though I haven't tested that.

087d4857e5 Bring the 'new-bus' to the i386. This extensively changes the way the 
i386 platform boots, it is no longer ISA-centric, and is fully dynamic.
Most old drivers compile and run without modification via 'compatability
shims' to enable a smoother transition.  eisa, isapnp and pccard* are
not yet using the new resource manager.  Once fully converted, all drivers
will be loadable, including PCI and ISA.

(Some other changes appear to have snuck in, including a port of Soren's
 ATA driver to the Alpha.  Soren, back this out if you need to.)

This is a checkpoint of work-in-progress, but is quite functional.

The bulk of the work was done over the last few years by Doug Rabson and
Garrett Wollman.
