fvdl 48003b2c88 Only use int13 extensions if the sectors can not be read through the
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.

fvdl 8371eb7a88 Clean up the BIOS disk matching code a bit (better naming, one structure
and sysctl to export to userland). Also, only use total number of sectors
given in the extended parameters if the physical chs geometry is
marked invalid. Hopefully fixes a problem where BIOSs would not correctly
fill in this field.

fvdl f8e221511b * query BIOS geometry information, possibly using the int 13 extensions.
* pass them on to the kernel
* print a message if the 2nd stage bootloader returns (i.e. fails)
  instead of just hanging.

perry 816bb96145 Initial import of new boot code, created by Matthias Drochner with a
little hacking by me. This isn't strictly identical to his 920312
release -- I've hacked it a bit -- but since we are taking over change
control it doesn't matter much.
