| | | | | | | | | | | | user to interrupt autoboot process at all. Currently, even when `autoboot_delay' is set to 0, loader(8) still allows autoboot process to be interrupted by pressing any key on the console when the loader reads kernel and modules from the disk. In some cases (i.e. untrusted environment) such behaviour is highly indesirable and user should not be allowed to interfere with the autoboot process at all. Sponsored by: PBXpress Inc.

* remove /boot/kernel from the default path.. There is already code thatjmg2004-08-061-1/+2

* 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.

* 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.
