  Modified:    sys/i386/boot/biosboot  README.386BSD asm.h boot.c boot2.S
                        start.S table.c
  Log:
  Obtained from:	Whistle Communications
  Add code to the boot blocks to allow the user to place default boot strings
  on block 1 of the disk (2nd block), should the correct magic numbers be present.
  
  If the correct options are used it will 'delete' the name used from block1,
  thereby assuring that if the boot fails it won't be stuck in an infinite loop.
  
  the boot strings are set by the utility "nextboot"
  (not yet checked in, but being tested.)
  By default these changes should have no effect on existing installations
  and if compiled without the NAMEBLOCK option should be essentially identical
  to the old ones.
