there are other architectures (e.g. IA64) which also use PXE.
* Get the console right in pxeboot, from Andreas Gustafsson.
* Add a "com0" version of pxeboot, to address the same issue that
biosboot_com0 addresses.
- Add alignment-safe double and float unions.
- Use the above for the __infinity and __nan constants on all
architectures that use the standard ieee754 representation of
those constants.
- Add a single copy of various ieee754 math functions (frexp, isinf,
isnan, ldexp and modf) that had numerous duplicates among the
arch-specific directories.
- Use the above functions on all architectures where the generic C
versions where used. Architectures that had local assembly
routines are untouched (for those functions only).
* Add separate directories for the individual netboot ROMs and
always build them.
* Each bootloader Makefile explicitly specifies the start file
and link address it wishes to use.
* genprom becomes a proper host program.
* Make sure all generated files get cleaned up.
* Set BINDIR in Makefile.inc
* Add compressed image support to pxeboot.
* Make pxeboot use the default serial console speed (9600).

Still needs some work, but this will load a kernel on a Soekris net4501.
Many thanks to Frank van der Linden and his simulator wizardry for
helping me debug the low-level startup code.
of removing the duplicate variables, make sure that any duplicate
variable that has an initial value in libsa also has an initial
value here; this keeps the linker from pulling in the libsa
definition.
BIOS-bug-avoidance [fixes part of my own port-i386/11299], and (2) lets you
have APM and COMPAT_MACHO in the kernel at the same time. Also comments on
the special 8th entry and what else changing some of these values affects.
OK'ed by Frank.
This is required when two or more bridges on the same bus, and some of
them are incompletely initialized by BIOS.

While we're here, enable RAIDframe (and RAID_AUTOCONFIG) by default for
architectures that I'm comfortable can deal with it being on by default.
Also: bump the number of 'raid' devices from 4 to 8, since 4 seems to
be insufficient in practise.
