* Bootloader update.Mike Smith1998-08-311-17/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Implement a new copyin/readin interface for loading modules. This allows the module loaders to become MI, reducing code duplication. - Simplify the search for an image activator for the loaded kernel. - Use the common module management code for all module metadata. - Add an 'unload' command that throws everything away. - Move the a.out module loader to MI code, add support for a.out kld modules. Submitted by: Alpha changes fixed by Doug Rabson <dfr@freebsd.org> Notes: svn path=/head/; revision=38712
* This is the new unified bootstrap, sometimes known previously as theMike Smith1998-08-211-0/+64
'three-stage' bootstrap. There are a number of caveats with the code in its current state: - The i386 bootstrap only supports booting from a floppy. - The kernel and kld do not yet know how to deal with the extended information and module summary passed in. - PnP-based autodetection and demand loading of modules is not implemented. - i386 ELF kernel loading is not ready yet. - The i386 bootstrap is loaded via an ugly blockmap. On the alpha, both net- and disk-booting (SRM console machines only) is supported. No blockmaps are used by this code. Obtained from: Parts from the NetBSD/i386 standalone bootstrap.
