Add more compatibility cruft:
- ignore the partition table if it is identical with the bogus one in /usr/src/sys/i386/boot/biosboot/start.S. Honoring the bogus size field was fatal. The error is detected but other compatibilty cruft weakens the error handling too much for this case. - weaken the partition entry checking to allow the following treatments of C/H/S addresses when C should be >= 1024: (1) allow C = 1023, H = max, S = max. (2) allow C to be correct modulo 1024. Other compatibilty cruft weakens the error handling to allow all C/H/S addresses, but there too many errors were reported. Improve error messages: - print C/H/S addresses if relevant. - distinguish primary partition table from extended partition tables. - don't use diskerr() except for i/o errors.
