Update of /cvsroot/src/sys/kern
In directory netbsd1:/local/work/setroot/src/sys/kern

Modified Files:
      Tag: thorpej-setroot
	syscalls.master 
Log Message:
Snapshot of work-in-progress, committed to private branch.

These changes implement machine-independent root device and file system
selection.  Notable features:

	- All ports behave in a consistent manner regarding root
	  device selection.
	- No more "options GENERIC"; all kernels have the ability
	  to boot with RB_ASKNAME to select root device and file system
	  type.
	- Root file system type can be wildcarded; a machine-independent
	  function will try all possible file systems for the selected
	  root device until one succeeds.
	- If the root file system fails to mount, the operator will
	  be given the chance to select a new root device and file
	  system type, rather than having the machine simply panic.
	- nfs_mountroot() no longer panics if any part of the NFS
	  mount process fails; it now returns an error, giving the
	  operator a chance to recover.
	- New, more consistent, config(8) grammar.  The constructs:

		config netbsd swap generic
		config netbsd root on nfs

	  have been replaced with:

		config netbsd root on ? type ?
		config netbsd root on ? type nfs
	  
	  Additionally, the operator may select or wildcard root file
	  system type in the kernel configuration file:

		config netbsd root on cd0a type cd9660
	  
	  config(8) now requires that a "root" specification be
	  made.  "root" may be wired down or wildcarded.  "swap" and
	  "dump" specifications are optional, and follow previous
	  semantics.

	- config(8) has a new "file-system" keyword, used to configure
	  file systems into the kernel.  Eventually, this will be used
	  to generate the default vfssw[].

	- "options NFSCLIENT" is obsolete, and is replaced by
	  "file-system NFS".  "options NFSSERVER" still exists, since
	  NFS server support is independent of the NFS file system
	  client.

	- sys/arch/<foo>/<foo>/swapgeneric.c is no longer used, and
	  will be removed; all information is now generated by config(8).

As of this commit, all ports except arm32 have been updated to use
the new setroot().  Only SPARC, i386, and Alpha ports have been
tested at this time.  Port masters should test these changes on their
ports, and report any problems back to me.

More changes are on their way, including RB_ASKNAME support in
nfs_mountroot() (to prompt for server address and path) and, potentially,
the ability to select rarp/bootparam or bootp in nfs_mountroot().
