with the new boot loader configuration process. I got a lot of
help from Daniel Sobral, and both Dan and I got help from Mike
Smith. This really belongs in Warner's UPDATING, but he's not
been answering his email recently, so that will wait a little.
Robert Nordier also gave me a lot of help, but he hasn't seen the
last version, and can't be blamed for my errors.

Also, unbreak the breakage introduced at the last revision of module.c.
This changes the semantics of mod_searchfile() (and mod_searchmodule())
to make the caller's responsibility freeing the buffer returned. This
is different from other functions in loader's code, and was done as a
fix for kern/9631. If someone wants to revert this to the original
behavior, don't forget to fix kern/9631 in another way.
This should also fix bin/10462, which was introduced as a result of the
first try at kern/9631 (module.c last revision).

Add freebsd.fr, for FreeBSD specific forth source. Add $ and %, to
replace the lost @ and - functionality of include. $ has the opposite
behavior of @ though, since the default behavior was inverted.
Change include() so it will be able to load files with forth code,
instead of just builtins. Remove #@- from the include section of the
help file, since they don't work in the new version of include, unless
BOOT_FORTH is not defined.
Change bf_run() so it will return the result returned by ficlExec(). Also,
make bf_run() push "interpret" to be executed by ficlExec(), since ficlExec()
doesn't do it by itself. (Things worked previously because nothing
recursed through ficlExec() by the way of bf_run()).
Change/extend comments on builtin behavior.
Search for "interpret" at the end of bf_init(), so /boot/boot.4th can
provide it's own version.
Remove dead code.

not to vmThrow errors. This is not what the comments say it does, and
it doesn't work when there is no ficlExec environment (like it's only

the interrupt which will be given to the PCIC. If the value supplied is
illegal or not available, interrupts will be turned off and polled mode
used instead.
bootinfo structure where bi_esymtab < bi_symtab was being passed
to the kernel. In the case of older 2.x kernels, this was causing
garbage to be printed to the video console, followed by an exception.
This should resolve a problem reported on -current by Peter Jeremy
<peter.jeremy@auss2.alcatel.com.au>.
I added a FICL_TRACE-conditioned trace facility based on "see".
It is ugly because words' functions are almost all static, and ficlExec,
where the trace has to be located, can't get their pointers. So, #ifdef
this staticization, and add most of see's body into ficlExec. Duplication
of code, uglyness, etc. But it is cleanly #ifdef'ed, and works like a
charm.
It does not provide "step" facility, though, just trace. It is
tunable at run-time through "trace!". If anyone (most likely me :) ever
wants a step facility, I'll add it. Should be easy.

FICL's TYPE copies the counted string to HERE, as abial has
remarked. Answering to abial's question, this is NOT garanteed to have
enough space.
...
We have dynamic memory. Even before memory-alloc got in, we
already had dynamic memory. Use it, then! (ficlMalloc is sysdep, so I
suppose that's why it was not used for TYPE; ficl is probably designed
to work without a working ficlFree).

Implement a new variable 'root_disk_unit' which supersedes
'num_ide_disks' and makes it possible to explicitly set the
root device unit number regardless of type considerations.

If we can't calculate a dev_t for the root disk, complain and
don't proceed to boot with an invalid boot device.
Make TIB handling use buffer size to conform with ANS Forth.

Move the relocated boot1 and arg transfer space from 0x600/0x800 to
0x700/0x900. In theory this should make no difference, apart from the fact
that Buslogic controllers happen to use a few bytes at 0x600 for some sort
of scratch space for it's int 0x13 hook (!!!), causing the machine to crash
badly when the boot2 code makes it's callbacks into boot1 for disk IO.
