Recommit, now that we found out how to fix the BIOS related issues: go
back to a 4 byte add instruction.
We do not know *why* though, so if somebody likes a challenge...
Lots of help from semarie@ who has a few systems showing the issue.

Revert previous, there are BIOS that do not like these changes.
Sorry for the inconvenience. With help from semarie@.

More non-512-byte sector groundwork. Don't let disklabel hint that
a ffs frag size can be less than the d_secsize of the disk. Make
sure amd64 writedisklabel() puts the disklabel where readdoslabel()
will read it. Tweak i386/amd64 installboot/biosboot so sectors are
indeed used where sectors are claimed.

Lets me fdisk, newfs, mount and installboot onto 2048 and 4096
byte sector devices. Other filesystem utilites will still hold
surprises.

Note that actually booting from such devices will await BIOSen that
acknowledge such devices as bootable.

Fix comments to match reality.
Thank you Vladimir Kirillov <proger () hackndev ! com>

Comment fix. It's 0x7F ELF, not 0xFF ELF.

Enable interrupts before halt when we error out. Allows use of
Ctl-Alt-Del to reboot in case of failure.

Much testing nick@; thanks.

Major overhaul of biosboot and installboot, using EDD (LBA) reads if
the BIOS supports it. File location data now geometry-independent

Major overhaul of biosboot and installboot, using EDD (LBA) reads if
the BIOS supports it. File location data now geometry-independent
(biosboot groks part of the inode), so installboot loses -h and -s.

Many thanks to all those brave enough to try the snapshots. Thanks
for the test reports, everyone.

Cleanup biosboot to remove uneeded 32-bit opcodes, initializations of
32-bit segment registers, and other things not really necessary. Cleanup
some comments while there as well. Tweak blocktable to max size these
changes allow us. This should help in shrinking the code some, making
future changes easier.

three four kills

i386 ELF bootloader. developed with weingart@

ancient file name in .file; from pbastos@rdc.puc-rio.br

and kill a now bogus comment

this monkey has not been a mbr for a couple of years already

Pasto. Ok mickey@

add nop; fixes Kapok Computer AMI WinBIOS boot sector detection garbage

i386 bootblocks that work for 2.3. A tale too long to tell

the problem is in /boot, not in biosboot

Well, the changes make do not work

new changes from weingart: -DDEBUG not needed anymore

temporary fixes to the bootblocks

Changes/updates to /boot stuff. More to come.
Fixes many divide by zero and pointer bugs.
