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.
