957055c6a9 Found the needle in the haystack! 
Use colons instead of semi-colons in the default init_path to behave like
UNIX instead of DOS.

2de24e689e Add loader.4th man page (worst man page I ever wrote -- reviews 
are welcomed). Correct a nasty bug in loader.4th before anyone
notices, add a couple of features.

bf18286593 Don't try protecting page 0; it seems that BIOS writers now feel it's 
appropriate to check for Windows95 by polling for state in low
memory, with fatal results.

378972ac6b Transition from using Perl to using awk for our text-manipulation 
needs.  This removes the dependancy on Perl for the generation of the
loader, allowing the world to be built on a perl-free system.

ba536e2ae8 Preserve the previous loader as loader.old. 
Note no matching commit for the Alpha, as the alpha boot0 stage does
not have the ability to prompt for user input.

244cf84b1e Explicitly look for kzip in /usr/bin, again this is a stopgap, to avoid 
making kzip a build tool.

82bbbb8c73 kzip the loader, this shrinks it to about 60% of its original size. 
Note that this is a stopgap with dependancies on the a.out tools.

48fe834fda Add required parts for BootForth building (currently disabled and 
untested).  Only suitable for i386 at the moment, as we are missing
setjmp/longjmp on the Alpha.

af1f6e0673 Implement a simple LRU block cache. By default this is initialised to 16k, 
and will bypass transfers for more than 8k.  Blocks are invalidated after
2 seconds, so removable media should not confuse the cache.

The 8k threshold is a compromise; all UFS transfers performed by
libstand are 8k or less, so large file reads thrash the cache.
However many filesystem metadata operations are also performed using
8k blocks, so using a lower threshold gives poor performance.

Those of you with an eye for cache algorithms are welcome to tell me
how badly this one sucks; you can start with the 'bcachestats' command
which will print the contents of the cache and access statistics.

dc8be6a8f5 - Add a new command 'lsdev' to list devices which might be likely to host 
filesystems.
 - New 'help' command and data in the help.* files (not yet installed),
   provides topic and subtopic help, indexes, etc.
 - Don't crash if the user tries to set an invalid console.  Be helpful
   instead.
 - Expand tabs (badly) on the i386 video console.
 - Some minor cosmetic changes.

d8ef941c2f - Enable PnP and ISA PnP code. 
- Use the ISA PnP enumerator.
 - Use the new linker set code, throw out the gensetdefs stuff.
 - Produce an intermediate loader image that has symbols stripped, to aid
 - in debugging.
 - Supply ISA port access functions required for ISA PnP

eb9022e791 Try and get the sys/* and machine/* includes via relative paths. This 
saves having to do a 'make includes' after touching any header file for
the boot code.

36e85d353d Use rather than for linking. This allows the new rather 
than stale version of libstand.a to be found.

After this change, the new boot code is apparently building correctly
in a make world.
