  Modified files:
    sys/boot/i386/loader conf.c 
    lib/libstand         Makefile bzipfs.c stand.h zipfs.c 
  Added files:
    lib/libstand         splitfs.c 
  Log:
  Add splitfs vfs layer into libstand, which allows loading big kernels and
  modules split across several physical medias. Following is how it works:
  
  The splitfs code, when asked to open "foo" looks for a file "foo.split"
  which is a text file containing a list of filenames and media names, e.g.
  
          foo.aa "Kernel floppy 1"
          foo.ab "Kernel floppy 2"
          foo.ac "Kernel and modules floppy"
  
  For each file segment, the process is:
  
  - try to open the file
  - prompt "Insert the disk labelled <whatever> and press any key..."
  - try to open the file
  - return error if file could not be located
  
  RE team is free to use this feature in the upcoming 5.0-DP1.
