Joerg Wunsch 15c99149f8 Boot block cleanup.
o Fix the keyboard probe to properly wait for the ready bit before
sending a command to the keyboard controller.  This should avoid the
problems some people are experiencing where the boot blocks hang the
system during keyboard probe.  (It does solve it for me.)

o Fix a bug that effectively prevented the boot blocks from ever
passing control to the serial console.  [while(--retries) instead of
while(retries--)]

o Gratuitously reduced the keyboard probe timeout from 500 to 5
seconds. :)

o Introduced a new option ``FORCE_COMCONSOLE'' as a commented-out
example in the Makefile, to force the usage of a serial console
regardless of a keyboard being connected or not.

o Moved all external declarations to boot.h, declared all functions
there, and ANSIfied all function declarations/definitions.
(printf() remains bogus, however -- i'm too lazy to fix this.)
We're in the ninetees, dunno why we should still support compilers
from the 70's.

This install procedure is ALPHA code, and        `--{__________)
may very possibly *DESTROY* the contents of your
ENTIRE DISK!  Please do not proceed with this installation
unless you've adequately backed up your data first!

If any errors occur during this installation, you can see them
by toggling over to the alternate screen - type ALT-F2 to switch
over, ALT-F1 to switch back to the install screen.  The debugging
output on the second screen may be very valuable to us in understanding
your bug report, so please be sure to take note of it when reporting
any failures in the installation!  Thanks!

Menus and scrolling output windows may be traversed with the arrow
and Page Up/Page Down keys.  To suspend the installation at any point,
hit ESC twice.  Hitting TAB will move the focus to different controls.
If you've ever dealt with a DOS installation, you'll know how to deal
with this.

For a more complete description of what's new in this release, please
see the release notes.

For more documentation on this system, it is recommended that you purchase

satisfied customers!

Have fun, and please let us know of any problems you encounter with
this release!

Please have patience if your questions are not answered right away -
this is an especially busy time for us, and our volunteer resources
