. Make Poul's boot2 overflow warning less noisy in case the blocks

   do fit, and beeping in case of an overflow.

.  Drop a comment about the ``FORCE_COMCONSOLE'' option into
   README.serial.

.  Increase the name buffer for the root directory from 100 bytes
   to 8 KB;  this is in no way ideal, but (IMHO) the best that can
   be done by now.  People did encounter problems with their root
   dir name listing overflowing the allocated buffer space.  Once
   we've got the three-stage boot, we should implement some basic
   malloc().  Swap space is already getting tight now, perhaps the
   swap should go into another 64 KB segment instead.

.  Make the keyboard probe less paranoid.  It should not give up in
   case of a keyboard that's continuously demanding RESEND's.  Even
   though the keyboard reset apparently has not been reported to be
   complete, it's at the very least proven that there IS something
   like a keyboard available.

   This solves problems with the ``Gateway-2000 AllKey programmable''
   (sp?) keyboard, that experienced a total hang with the previous
   probe.

   Thanks goes to Scott Blachowicz <scott@statsci.com> for his
   extensive testing of my various interim (debugging) bootblocks
   to get this working.
