mrg ed88a6f103 add support for finding kernels other than `netbsd'. the list is:
netbsd, netbsd.gz, netbsd.old, netbsd.old.gz, onetbsd, onetbsd.gz
and vmunix, in that order.  this is used by the bootable `bootfs'
image (suitable for floppies and cdroms), which contains a netbsd.gz
by default.
while i'm here, fix up `boot [device] -s' which got broke when
booting kernels with a - in their name was fixed..

pk 5ba6b94ba6 Do not use KERNBASE to calculate the `end of symbols' location. Instead
use the `a_entry' field from the kernel's header as a base.

Pass on a new DDB magic number to the kernel, so kernels linked for a
different KERNBASE value can apply a correction when booted from old
bootblocks.

mrg 7cedf69cbd Completely rearrange SPARC boot code, modeling it after alpha and hp300
ports' boot programs.  Also added support for loading gzip'd kernels,
useful for booting from floppy.  From Jason R. Thorpe <thorpej@nas.nasa.gov>,
tested by Matthew Green <mrg@eterna.com.au> and Erik Fair <fair@clock.org>.
