* document host_start_mem.imp2004-10-151-0/+12
| | | | | | # feel free to wordsmith. Suggested by: ru@
* Back out changes which were introduced to delay mounting root file system.pjd2004-10-051-7/+0
| | | | | Those changes were made on gmirror needs, but now gmirror handles this by itself.
* The "autoboot" command also has a third (optional) parameter.ru2004-10-011-0/+7

* Don't give instructions on how to disable ACPI in the MI section.ru2004-09-301-5/+0
| | | | | For novice users, beastie.4th can just do it. Expert users can read ACPI instructions by typing "help ACPI".
* Fixed the default value of the $prompt variable, document whatru2004-09-301-1/+1
| | | | happens if $prompt is unset.
* Mention "help index" in the online help, and provide a help forru2004-09-301-1/+8
| | | | the `?' command.
* Document boot_cdrom, boot_multicons, and boot_serial.ru2004-09-301-4/+29
| | | | | Reduce diffs between help.common and loader(8). Mention that boot_userconfig is currently a no-op.

* remove /boot/kernel from the default path.. There is already code thatjmg2004-08-061-1/+2
| | | | | | | | will prepend the current kernel booting... This prevents a problem of loading /boot/kernel's modules when a different kernel has no modules, but you left your module_load="YES" in loader.conf... Reviewed by: dcs (minus the help part)
* Correct a documentation bug.ceri2004-07-291-1/+1

* Rename the kern.vm.kmem.size tunable to the more logical vm.kmem_size. Todes2004-01-271-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | assure backward compatibility (conditional on !BURN_BRIDGES), look it up by its old name first, and log a warning (but accept the setting) if it was found. If both the old and new name are defined, the new name takes precedence. Also export vm.kmem_size as a read-only sysctl variable; I find it hard to tune a parameter when I don't know its default value, especially when that default value is computed at boot time.
* Since we insist on loading the POS ACPI by default, give the poor userobrien2003-05-051-0/+5

* Fix a few spelling errors.trhodes2003-03-071-3/+3

* Document the tunable kern.ipc.nsfbufs in help.common and loader.8. Smallseanc2003-03-041-2/+6
| | | | | | | nearby grammar fixup that saves a line of display while in the loader (help set tunables), but reuses the line for kern.ipc.nsfbufs. Approved by: roam
* FreeBSD 5.0 has stopped shipping /modules 2.5 years ago. Catchru2003-03-031-1/+1
| | | | | up with this further by excluding /modules from the (default) kern.module_path.

* Some more i386-only BIOS-friendliness:msmith2000-04-161-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | - Add support for using the PCI BIOS functions for configuration space accesses, and make this the default. - Make PNPBIOS the default (obsoletes the PNPBIOS config option). - Add two new boot-time tunables to disable each of the above.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
