Added Files:
	src/sys/arch/i386/stand/fatboot: Makefile fatboot.S

Log Message:
Add a sub-512 byte piece of code that can be written (by a modified installboot)
into the first sector of a FAT16 filesystem and will load 'boot' (and hence)
the netbsd kernel from it.
Unlike bootxx_msdosfs this doesn't need the filesystem to have 8k of 'reserved'
sectors, and may well work on non-512 byte media (as yet untested).
