- Give x86 BIOS boot the ability to load new style modules and pass them
...
into the kernel. Based on a patch by jmcneill@, with many fixes and
improvements by me.
- Put MEMORY_DISK_DYNAMIC and MODULAR into the GENERIC kernels, so that
you can load miniroot.kmod from the boot blocks and boot into the
installer!

i386 and amd64 share a bootloader, so this should work on both.

While boot.cfg support is currently i386 only, it is hoped that its use
...
will be extended to other appropriate ports in future. Note as such in the
bugs section.
This is an MI man page, so should not be flagged as i386 in the header.

Add support for /boot.cfg configuration file in x86 boot loader.
...
This allows easy configuration of banner text, console device and timeout
as well as allowing menus of commands to be displayed. If /boot.cfg
is not present, then the existing behaviour does not change.
The sections in the boot loader source are surrounded by #ifdef SMALL
allowing this functionality to be removed if space is at a premium.
