Joerg Wunsch 9c6e0c69be . Make Poul's boot2 overflow warning less noisy in case the blocks 
do fit, and beeping in case of an overflow.

.  Drop a comment about the ``FORCE_COMCONSOLE'' option into
   README.serial.

.  Increase the name buffer for the root directory from 100 bytes
   to 8 KB;  this is in no way ideal, but (IMHO) the best that can
   be done by now.  People did encounter problems with their root
   dir name listing overflowing the allocated buffer space.  Once
   we've got the three-stage boot, we should implement some basic
   malloc().  Swap space is already getting tight now, perhaps the
   swap should go into another 64 KB segment instead.

.  Make the keyboard probe less paranoid.  It should not give up in
   case of a keyboard that's continuously demanding RESEND's.  Even
   though the keyboard reset apparently has not been reported to be
   complete, it's at the very least proven that there IS something
   like a keyboard available.

   This solves problems with the ``Gateway-2000 AllKey programmable''
   (sp?) keyboard, that experienced a total hang with the previous
   probe.

   Thanks goes to Scott Blachowicz <scott@statsci.com> for his
   extensive testing of my various interim (debugging) bootblocks
   to get this working.

This install procedure is ALPHA code, and        `--{__________)
may very possibly *DESTROY* the contents of your
ENTIRE DISK!  Please do not proceed with this installation
unless you've adequately backed up your data first!

If any errors occur during this installation, you can see them
by toggling over to the alternate screen - type ALT-F2 to switch
over, ALT-F1 to switch back to the install screen.  The debugging
output on the second screen may be very valuable to us in understanding
your bug report, so please be sure to take note of it when reporting
any failures in the installation!  Thanks!

Menus and scrolling output windows may be traversed with the arrow
and Page Up/Page Down keys.  To suspend the installation at any point,
hit ESC twice.  Hitting TAB will move the focus to different controls.
If you've ever dealt with a DOS installation, you'll know how to deal
with this.

For a more complete description of what's new in this release, please
see the release notes.

For more documentation on this system, it is recommended that you purchase
the 4.4BSD Document Set from O'Reilly Associates and the USENIX Association.
ISBN 1-56592-082-1  We have no connection with O'Reilly, we're just
satisfied customers!

Have fun, and please let us know of any problems you encounter with
this release!

Comments should be sent to:

	hackers@FreeBSD.org

Bug reports should be sent using the `send-pr' utility, if you
were able to get the system installed, otherwise to:

	bugs@FreeBSD.org

And general questions to:

	questions@FreeBSD.org


Please have patience if your questions are not answered right away -
this is an especially busy time for us, and our volunteer resources
are often strained to the limit (if not somewhat past!).

Thanks!
