6d129d771c - set a bit in the CMOS that says the processor has an FPU. This is
from patch [ #455006 ] Device byte is not initialized aptly.
  I can't give credit, because he or she did not leave a name.

452bb210fc - fix incorrect title 2001-09-17 15:12:55 +00:00

b0c6488ed9 The HTML stylesheet likes to print html has the ends of tags on a different
line, like this:
<HTML
><HEAD
><TITLE
>FreeBSD</TITLE
>

Glimpse, which is indexing our website, finds this very confusing and
it cannot pick out the title from this mess.  This script takes a list
of HTML files on the command line and attempts to make the <TITLE> tag
look more normal so that glimpse can understand it.

WARNING: This is a hack.  It's made to work on docbook generated html, but
may do strange things on anything else.

441c39ea0c - fix up Downloading Bochs, how to use CVS, Compiling Bochs, Unix
instructions, configure options
- added a transcript of a successful compile, since that gives all the
  commands and shows people where their compile went wrong.

8c6446cf4c - only put 0xf into the 2nd hard disk field when the cdrom is not present.
This is a patch from Volker Ruppert <Volker.Ruppert@t-online.de>, who
  comments: "The fdisk command reports an unusable second harddisk if the cdrom
  is enabled. This patch helps, but I don't know if it is the right way."

fd7e7ee86c - added debugger command "info fpu" which prints all FPU registers
in an output format similar to gdb (when you do info all-registers).
  Also, if you do "info all" you get the CPU registers and the FPU
  registers.
- added bx_cpu_c method called fpu_print_regs, which is implemented
  in wmFPUemu_glue.cc
