 1.1.2.1  14-Jan-1997  thorpej Snapshot of work-in-progress, committed to private branch.

These changes implement machine-independent root device and file system
selection. Notable features:

- All ports behave in a consistent manner regarding root
device selection.
- No more "options GENERIC"; all kernels have the ability
to boot with RB_ASKNAME to select root device and file system
type.
- Root file system type can be wildcarded; a machine-independent
function will try all possible file systems for the selected
root device until one succeeds.
- If the root file system fails to mount, the operator will
be given the chance to select a new root device and file
system type, rather than having the machine simply panic.
- nfs_mountroot() no longer panics if any part of the NFS
mount process fails; it now returns an error, giving the
operator a chance to recover.
- New, more consistent, config(8) grammar. The constructs:

config netbsd swap generic
config netbsd root on nfs

have been replaced with:

config netbsd root on ? type ?
config netbsd root on ? type nfs

Additionally, the operator may select or wildcard root file
system type in the kernel configuration file:

config netbsd root on cd0a type cd9660

config(8) now requires that a "root" specification be
made. "root" may be wired down or wildcarded. "swap" and
"dump" specifications are optional, and follow previous
semantics.

- config(8) has a new "file-system" keyword, used to configure
file systems into the kernel. Eventually, this will be used
to generate the default vfssw[].

- "options NFSCLIENT" is obsolete, and is replaced by
"file-system NFS". "options NFSSERVER" still exists, since
NFS server support is independent of the NFS file system
client.

- sys/arch/<foo>/<foo>/swapgeneric.c is no longer used, and
will be removed; all information is now generated by config(8).

As of this commit, all ports except arm32 have been updated to use
the new setroot(). Only SPARC, i386, and Alpha ports have been
tested at this time. Port masters should test these changes on their
ports, and report any problems back to me.

More changes are on their way, including RB_ASKNAME support in
nfs_mountroot() (to prompt for server address and path) and, potentially,
the ability to select rarp/bootparam or bootp in nfs_mountroot().
 1.3.20.1  22-Jun-2000  minoura Sync w/ netbsd-1-5-base.
 1.3.12.1  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.
 1.4.10.1  18-Oct-2002  nathanw Catch up to -current.
 1.4.6.1  10-Oct-2002  jdolecek sync kqueue with -current; this includes merge of gehenna-devsw branch,
merge of i386 MP branch, and part of autoconf rototil work
 1.5.6.1  02-Nov-2004  skrll Sync with HEAD.
 1.7.92.1  13-May-2009  jym Sync with HEAD.

Commit is split, to avoid a "too many arguments" protocol error.
 1.7.86.1  28-Apr-2009  skrll Sync with HEAD.
 1.7.78.1  04-May-2009  yamt sync with head.
