where applicable. The main reason for this change is that
the location of make.conf is not constant and can be
modified via __MAKE_CONF. This change also improves
hyper-text linkage in our manpages.

/boot.config or on the "boot:" prompt line via a "-S<speed>" flag,
e.g. "-h -S19200". This adds about 50 bytes to the size of boot2
and required a few other small changes to limit the size impact.
This changes only affects boot2; there are further loader changes
to follow.
with -k option and never be used without kflag. This confuses
gcc because we set "kflag" at the same time with "kernel", but
the logic is not that apparant for gcc.
Since we can initialize "kernel" to NULL then know if "k" option
is set through determining whether it is still NULL, don't try
to have gcc to guess why we are connecting "kflag" with "kernel"
and use "kernel" directly in place of kflag.

- Document better what the -C option means.
- The -c option is currently a no-op.
- The -D and -h options do not allow switching between
single/dual console modes and internal/video consoles.
(This used to be true for the old biosdisk boot code,
but now they just force the multiple consoles mode and
serial console, respectively.)

connected to the build and is mostly unwritten at this point.

where boot.config needs to reside. Also change /kernel
to /boot/loader, as that is the apparent default now. This
man page probably requires more updates.
doesn't have a process group, which can occur if you're working with
a custom init that doesn't set up a full tty context. Rather than
refusing to reboot, ignore ESRCH from the kill attempt in reboot(8).
when using '-p' with reboot, and the power down action failds, reboot
the system normally. The behaviour of 'halt -p' and of shutdown(8) is
unchanged.

'-p' is used on the reboot(8) command line.
This is intended for use when you want to attempt a power down
action, but you want the system to reboot (not halt) if the
power down action fails.
This is typically useful when the power-off action performed by
the kernel consists in signalling an uninterrupted power supply
that it should shut down its inverter if mains power has not returned.
The behaviour of shutdown(8) and init(8) is not modified;
only the behaviour of invoking 'reboot -p' manually is
modified, and then only in the case when a power-down action
fails.

around. If the kernel boots successfully, the record of this kernel
is erased, it is intended to be a one-shot option for testing
kernels.
This could be improved by having the loader remove the record of
the next kernel to boot, it is currently removed in /etc/rc immediately
after disks are mounted r/w.
I'd like to MFC this before the 4.6 freeze unless there is violent
objection.
