Log Message:
pull up from trunk:
>remove old, unused, framework for boot device detection.  It's going
>to be replaced by something new and working.
and:
>don't pass the firmware's console environment variable to the various console
>initialization functions any more.  None of them used it, and they can
>get the same data more easily via the RPB.
and:
>boot device autodetection, using PROM's boot device environment variable.
>This is a bit of a hack, as-is, since there's a lot of code that's
>outright duplicated between the various files and because it doesn't
>support detection of a network device as the root device.  The
>latter's not a problem yet, because NetBSD/Alpha can't load the kernel

Log Message:
pull up from trunk:

>and whacking a bit here and there where appropriate.  Does not yet do
>automatic root device detection, but that's much easier to add now.
>RB_ASKNAME now supports specification of network devices, for diskless
>booting.  Also, RB_ASKNAME is now supported on _all_ kernels.
