on i386 and amd64 machines. The overall process is that /boot/pmbr lives
in the PMBR (similar to /boot/mbr for MBR disks) and is responsible for
locating and loading /boot/gptboot. /boot/gptboot is similar to /boot/boot
except that it groks GPT rather than MBR + bsdlabel. Unlike /boot/boot,
/boot/gptboot lives in its own dedicated GPT partition with a new
"FreeBSD boot" type. This partition does not have a fixed size in that
/boot/pmbr will load the entire partition into the lower 640k. However,
it is limited in that it can only be 545k. That's still a lot better than
the current 7.5k limit for boot2 on MBR. gptboot mostly acts just like
boot2 in that it reads /boot.config and loads up /boot/loader. Some more
details:
- Include uuid_equal() and uuid_is_nil() in libstand.
- Add a new 'boot' command to gpt(8) which makes a GPT disk bootable using
/boot/pmbr and /boot/gptboot. Note that the disk must have some free
space for the boot partition.
- This required exposing the backend of the 'add' function as a
gpt_add_part() function to the rest of gpt(8). 'boot' uses this to
create a boot partition if needed.
- Don't cripple cgbase() in the UFS boot code for /boot/gptboot so that
it can handle a filesystem > 1.5 TB.
- /boot/gptboot has a simple loader (gptldr) that doesn't do any I/O
unlike boot1 since /boot/pmbr loads all of gptboot up front. The
C portion of gptboot (gptboot.c) has been repocopied from boot2.c.
The primary changes are to parse the GPT to find a root filesystem
and to use 64-bit disk addresses. Currently gptboot assumes that the
first UFS partition on the disk is the / filesystem, but this algorithm
will likely be improved in the future.
- Teach the biosdisk driver in /boot/loader to understand GPT tables.
GPT partitions are identified as 'disk0pX:' (e.g. disk0p2:) which is
similar to the /dev names the kernel uses (e.g. /dev/ad0p2).
- Add a new "freebsd-boot" alias to g_part() for the new boot UUID.

aligned, GCC 4.2.1 also generates code for sendudp() that assumes
this alignment. GCC 4.2.1 however doesn't 32-bit align wbuf, causing
the loader to crash due to an unaligned access of wbuf in sendudp()
when netbooting sparc64. Solve this by specifying wbuf as packed and
32-bit aligned, too. As for lastdata and readudp() this currently is
no issue when compiled with GCC 4.2.1, though give lastdata the same
treatment as wbuf for consistency and possibility of being affected
in the future. [1]
- Sprinkle const on a lookup table.

BZ_NO_COMPRESS support to the bzip2 sources directly (yes, this takes file
off the vendor branch, but looks like bzip2 maintainer doesn't care), so that
it will not be removed when the next upgrade is performed. Also, add a short
note on how to test bzip2 support.

Correct comment (libz -> libbz2) and remove useless full path to zutil.h
while I am here.
bzip2 support provided, and amd64 depended on. Amd64 has a custom
${.OBJDIR}/machine symlink in it and the -I. picked this up. Without
it, the libstand code was being compiled in 32 bit mode, but with 64 bit
machine headers.
since otherwise the initial seek offset will contain the directory
offset of the filesystem block that contained its directory entry.
This bug was mostly harmless because typically the directory is
less than one filesystem block in size so the offset would be zero.
It did however generally break loading a kernel from the (large)
kernel compile directory.
Also reset the seek pointer when a new inode is opened in read_inode(),
though this is not actually necessary now because all callers set
it afterwards.
- bzipfs and gzipfs now properly return errno values directly from their
read routines rather than returning -1.
- missing errno values on error returns for the seek routines on almost
all filesystems were added.
- fstat() now returns -1 if an error occurs rather than ignoring it.
- nfs's readdir() routine now reports valid errno values if an error or
EOF occurs rather than EPERM (It was just returning 0 for success and
1 for failure).
- nullfs used the wrong semantics for every function besides close() and
seek(). Getting it right for close() appears to be an accident at that.
- read() for buffered files no longer returns 0 (EOF) if an error occurs,
but returns -1 instead.
associated floppy if needed into a static split_openfile() function.
- Use this function in splitfs_open() to open the first chunk rather
than using open() directly. This allows the first chunk to be located
on a different disk than the actual foo.split file.
