This should allow NetBSD to be booted on a RiscPC with nothing other than
the built in ROM software and a NetBSD CD. Disk partitioning between RISC OS
and NetBSD may be a task for another day.
While we are here use ${HOST_SH} to invoke mksparkive.sh
tar.Z archive.
Also, fix the uudecode of !Sprites and !Sprites22 by renaming, as
bsd.files.mk fails silently on filenames beginning with an exclamation
mark. The change to using bsd.files.mk also appears to have left the
uuencoded source files in the final archive - remove these.
Note that this still ships the old bootloader - this should be addressed
in a subsequent commit.
program/tool from "FOO" to "TOOL_FOO". The new variables are:

For each, provide default in <bsd.sys.mk> of the form:
TOOL_FOO?= foo
and for the ${USETOOLS}=="yes" case in <bsd.own.mk>, provide override:
TOOL_FOO= ${TOOLDIR}/bin/${_TOOL_PREFIX}foo
Document all of these in bsd.README.
This cleans up a chunk of potential (and actual) namespace collision
within our build infrastructure, as well as improves consistency in
the share/mk documentation and provision of appropriate defaults for
each of these variables.
a key to provide extra options or to load a different kernel (much like
biosboot on i386). This saves having to edit the fastboot file just to
boot single-user.
convert this Makefile to be more similar to others in distrib/**.
XXX: this still needs work to make this more non-netbsd-cross friendly.
e.g, use ${PAX} and compress instead of assuming that tar supports `Z', etc.
larger discs. It was allways broken for these discs anyway giving negative
cylinder numbers (!!)
The critical calculation is now done in float for the extra bits we get and
then converted back to ints rounding up ... not much i agree but it
appears to be enough.
installation kernel into the BtNetBSD thus helping the installation
process on Acorn32 tremendously.
New users now only have to download the BtNetBSD.tar.Z image, unpack it
with the suplied !SparkPlug and run the installation kernel as they
normally would expect to be able to under RiscOS.
