 1.3  09-Nov-2001  scw branches: 1.3.2;
Bump the version numbers of all bootloaders which use loadfile_elfXX() now
that it tries hard to avoid backwards seeks.
 1.2  02-Aug-2001  bjh21 branches: 1.2.4;
Bump version numbers of all bootloaders that use loadfile/ELF, to account for
my changes to symbol loading. I should probably have done this at the time,
but it's better late than never.
 1.1  18-Sep-2000  wdk branches: 1.1.2; 1.1.6;
Initial commit of a 2 stage bootloader for NetBSD/mipsco. Based on pmax
and alpha ports.

Uses PROM standalone I/O functions but due to the lack of a lseek function
it currently only works with version 5.40 of the firmware. A more portable
solution is being worked on.

installboot utility requires several changes in order to correctly install
the bootstrap code - there is a "volume directory" which contains a list
of filenames, start sectors and length. We need to add a "boot" entry of
the correct length starting at block 2. The boot file has to be ecoff
which means we waste another 0.5k

Normally the Mips filesystem has a ~500k partition for this purpose but it
should be possible to squeeze it all into the first 7k "BSD Style" (1k is
required for 2 different copies of the partition table)

Only the bootxx_ffs first stage bootstrap has been tested via bootp() which
loads the second stage off disk and then boots the kernel.
 1.1.6.2  10-Jan-2002  thorpej Sync kqueue branch with -current.
 1.1.6.1  03-Aug-2001  lukem update to -current
 1.1.2.2  20-Nov-2000  bouyer Update thorpej_scsipi to -current as of a month ago
A i386 GENERIC kernel compiles without the siop, ahc and bha drivers
(will be updated later). i386 IDE/ATAPI and ncr work, as well as
sparc/esp_sbus. alpha should work as well (untested yet).
siop, ahc and bha will be updated once I've updated the branch to current
-current, as well as machine-dependant code.
