'RELENG_6_0_0_RELEASE'. This commit was manufactured to restore the state of the 6.0-RELEASE image.

Add support for reading an additional loader configuration file. By default,

this is called /boot/nextboot.conf. This file is required to have it's first line be nextboot_enable="YES" for it to be read. Also, this file is rewritten by the loader to nextboot_enable="NO" after it is read. This makes it so the file is read exactly once. Finally, the nextboot.conf is removed shortly after the filesystems are mounted r/w. Caution should be taken as you can shoot yourself in the foot. This is only the loader piece. There will be a tool called nextboot(8) that will manage the nextboot.conf file for you. It is coming shortly. Reviewed by: dcs Approved by: jake (mentor)

- Add 'fwrite' and 'fseek' words for writing to and seeking on files.

- 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.

Go back to 1.20 again.

Revert 1.20, as it causes mysterious problems to the Alpha people.

Allocate more memory if necessary.

Now I see the error of my ways.

Previous revision of this file changed the "boot" commands to take no arguments from the stack. This is only valid in the case where a kernel has not been loaded. In that case, load_kernel_and_modules will be called, which takes a list of arguments from the stack. When a kernel is presently loaded, though, the list of arguments must be passed to the boot command, which was the behaviour before the last revision. Fix things for both cases. Noticed by: S-Max and others on that chat room

What could possibly have possessed me to forget the "0 (arguments)"

in two of the three boot words in the "boot" redefinition, I have no clue. Fix it. Noticed by: bp Noticed by: adrian

Check for the correct minimum version required by the current code.

I hope I got this right... :-)

Use _ instead or - where proper, according to the style I have been

using. Overload "?" so it will also show loader.4th commands.
