  Added files:
    sys/i386/boot/biosboot boot.help 
  Log:
  This should have been committed with the changes to boot.c yesterday.
  
  - Added support for "dual" internal/serial consoles (-D flag).  If -D is set,
    then all i/o from the boot blocks is to and from both the internal console
    and the serial console.  -D has no effect on the kernel (-h decides the
    kernel serial console as usual).  -D should normally be set in /boot.config.
  - Get help messages from /boot.help.  You should copy boot.help from the
    biosboot directory to the root directory on the boot drive when you
    install new boot blocks.
  - New, less invasive keyboard probe.  Enable keyboard probe dynamically (-P
    flag).  Should probably never be used (use -h instead).
  - Fixed/improved initialization from boot.config.  It didn't interact correctly
    with the NAMEBLOCK option, and the initialization of the drive/unit/partition
    didn't stick when a non-default kernel name was entered.
  - Don't reset or forget the default drive/unit/... or kernel name so often.
  - Set the default kernel name to something unbootable after `?'.
  - Display the defaults better.
  - Removed PROBE_KEYBOARD_LOCK option (use -h instead).,
  - Removed BOOT_FORCE_COMCONSOLE option (use device flag 0x20 instead).
  - Removed -a (RB_HALT) flag.  This flag is only used for reboots.
