. 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.
