thorpej 415248a4f2 Move the machdep_start() code into machdep.c. No need for different
versions of this function anymore, now that we have a sane kernel setroot().

thorpej fc699e8440 Major revamp of the boot code.
- Good bye SYS_PBOOT and SYS_NBOOT, hello SYS_UBOOT (unified boot)
	  Currently supports booting from SCSI and HP-IB disk and network
	  from a single boot block.  Infrastructure for booting from
	  HP-IB tape is there, but it doesn't quite work yet.

	- Add a slightly modified version of Gordon Ross's "rawfs",
	  which provides a filesystem-like interface to tape devices.
	  Still needs debugging (see above).

	- Rename sys_inst.c to inst.c, so that the LIF directory entry
	  turns out right (used to look like SYS_SYS_I if loaded from
	  tape).

	- Add a "netio_ask" hint to netio.c, so that a special instnetio.o
	  doesn't have to be compiled for SYS_INST.  Defaults to using
	  bootparams, but if set, will prompt user for information
	  usually obtained from bootparams.

	- General cleanup.
