older CHS interface. This works around stupid BIOSs who report that
int13 extensions are present and functional, but fail when you actually
use them. Like Adaptec SCSI BIOSs.
For the bootselector, there was no space to get the CHS info from
the BIOS. Instead, use a flag that can be set by fdisk. fdisk will
set it if one of the partitions on the disk is out of CHS reach
for this disk/BIOS, so that the bootselector will use int13 extensions.
This isn't so bad, because it needs to be configured via fdisk anyway.
Change the mbr manualpage to reflect some shorter error messages.

- Use loadfile for both boot and installboot
- Fix problems with linking in bootxx
- Make installboot work with both a.out and ELF bootxx
- *WILL NOT BOOT YET ELF KERNELS* (a.out kernels work) I am working on it.
- the path is split on `/', and each directory is CWD-ed into separately.
(from [standards/7484] by Alan Barrett <apb@iafrica.com>)
- support a trailing `;type=X' suffix, where X is a,i, or d. (d isn't
implemented, but it is recognised)
- the only non-compliant behaviour is that empty directories sections
(e.g `//') aren't run as `CWD ' - as a lot of ftpds don't like that.
Instead, treat this as a no-op.
* don't support globbing for ftp urls, since that's technically not
RFC compliant.
* fix a couple of man-page nits
* when copying out the timezone in gettimeofday, don't accidentally copy
out the timeval again (into the timezone buffer).
* mmap() PROT_WRITE and PROT_EXECUTE imply PROT_READ.
Verify EEPROM checksum, extract card rev-level, test capabilities
word, then test high-order config bits to verify card is in PnP mode,
and skip if so.
