updated for the symtab support for a.out (non for ELF yet) and other cleanup
by myself. should work on the alpha as well as other ELF ports...
remove the ld(1) output by default, rather than leaving little binary turds

field.
According to disklabel.h, its LFS semantics are "segment shift" (log2(segment
size)), but in the code it is used nowhere, and there are even plans to
allow non-poweroftwo segment sizes, so it won't ever work.
While at this, simplify the disktab-like output routine... here, currently,
BSDFFS, BSDLFS, EX2FS and ADOS do the same, so don't duplicate the code.
be clobbered. since 4.4-Lite(?) disklabel.c has gone to extra effort
to avoid clobbering the boot area when using -r, but the 4.4-Lite manual
pages were apparently not updated to note that!
wasn't adding a "su" entry, so when the disktab was read, the sectors per
unit was initialized to "nc"*"sc" which was wrong.

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.
effect (i386 only of course). Also change one branch in the
bootselector code to an explicit 16 bit one, and check both
the boot menu and partition tables to see if the partition
requested by the user should be booted. This check just in case,
should the bootselector menu and partition table get out of sync
somehow. (mmm, bytesqueezing)
