b47483433c Added a hack to start binaries from the boot image only. In particular, setting
bin_img=1 in the boot monitor will make sure that during the boot procedure the
mfs binary that is part of the boot image is the only binary that is used to
mount partitions. This is useful when for some reason the mfs binary on disk 
malfunctions, rendering Minix unable to boot. By setting bin_img=1, the binary
on disk is ignored and the binary in the boot image is used instead.

- 'service' now accepts an additional flag -r. -r implies -c. -r instructs RS
  to first look in memory if the binary has already been copied to memory and
  execute that version, instead of loading the binary from disk. For example,
  the first time a MFS is being started it is copied (-c) to memory and
  executed from there. The second time MFS is being started this way, RS will
  look in memory for a previously copied MFS binary and reuse it if it exists.
- The mount and newroot commands now accept an additional flag -i, which
  instructs them to set the MS_REUSE flag in the mount flags.
- The mount system call now supports the MS_REUSE flag and invokes 'service'
  with the -r flag when MS_REUSE is set.
- /etc/rc and the rc script that's included in the boot image check for the
  existence of the bin_img flag in the boot monitor, and invoke mount and 
  newroot with the -i flag accordingly.

f47aa04a30 . removed readclock command and cmos driver.
. replaced by a readclock 'driver' that runs once, a re-imported version
  of the minix 2.0.4 readclock command.
. this has also restored cmos writing.
. readclock wrapper script calls service command to run /bin/readclock.drv
  once.

7de7ca978d Security check on physical address to be < 16 MB (ISA DMA uses 24-bit
addressing, which can address 16 MB max).

74711a3b14 Check if kernel calls is allowed (from process' call mask) added. Not yet
enforced. If a call is denied, this will be kprinted. Please report any such
errors, so that I can adjust the mask before returning errors instead of
warnings.

Wrote CMOS driver. All CMOS code from FS has been removed. Currently the
driver only supports get time calls. Set time is left out as an exercise
for the book readers ... startup scripts were updated because the CMOS driver
is needed early on. (IS got same treatment.) Don't forget to run MAKEDEV cmos
in /dev/, otherwise the driver cannot be loaded.

89cf745fe2 Single boot driver loaded, while multiple can be included in the boot image.
The user needs to set label=... to choose the driver of his or her choice.
This driver will be mapped onto the controller that is set in controller=...

Minor cleanup of kernel source code (boot image table now is static).

9748a6536e Fixed an mtree bugs that caused permissions and ownerships for / to
be wrong.

Made the install process quieter when install already done.

rc and daily now is more readonly-/usr aware (for cd).

4c80170111 Made things a little more boot-cd friendly (specifically readonly /usr).
Also /etc/rc automatically determines where /usr should come from based
on where the ramdisk was copied from.
