Peter Wemm ce4c60d38d Fix the ILLEGAL fdisk table that is there for supporting "dangerously
dedicated" mode.  This was specifying that there are 256 (illegal!)
heads on the disk.  If bioses store that in a byte, and it gets truncated
to 0, then that almost certainly causes the infamous divide-by-zero
nightmare.

This is also most likely the reason why the Thinkpad T20/A20 series
were locking up when FreeBSD was installed.  This is also the most likely
reason why a boot1 being present causes an IA64 box to lock up at boot.
(removing the "part4" stuff from boot1.s fixes the IA64 boxes and would
most likely have fixed the T20/A20 and some TP600E series thinkpads)

This is the top level of the FreeBSD source directory.  This file
was last revised on:
$FreeBSD$

For copyright information, please see the file COPYRIGHT in this
directory (additional copyright information also exists for some
sources in this tree - please see the specific source directories for
more information).

The Makefile in this directory supports a number of targets for
building components (or all) of the FreeBSD source tree, the most
commonly used one being ``world'', which rebuilds and installs
everything in the FreeBSD system from the source tree except the
kernel, the kernel-modules and the contents of /etc.  The
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets build and install
the kernel and the modules (see below).  Please see the top of
the Makefile in this directory for more information on the
standard build targets and compile-time flags.

Building a kernel is a somewhat more involved process, documentation
for which can be found at:
   http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html
And in the config(8) man page.
Note: If you want to build and install the kernel with the
``buildkernel'' and ``installkernel'' targets, you have to build
world before.  More information is available in the handbook.

The sample kernel configuration files reside in the sys/i386/conf
sub-directory (assuming that you've installed the kernel sources), the
file named GENERIC being the one used to build your initial installation
kernel.  The file NOTES contains entries and documentation for all possible
devices, not just those commonly used.  It is the successor of the ancient
LINT file, but in contrast to LINT, it is not buildable as a kernel but a
pure reference and documentation file.
