Update of /a/cvsroot/src/sys/arch/sparc/dev
In directory pain.lcs.mit.edu:/b/tmp/cvs-serv11068

Modified Files:
        fd.c 
Log Message:
Three distinct changes:
        - Better disklabel handling.  While a disklabel isn't used
          in the driver, some versions of the OpenPROM insist on
          one being present in order to boot from floppy.  These
          changes provide a default label (in a way similar to how
          the SCSI disk driver provides a default) so that a user
          can more easily place the label on the disk.

        - Fix semi-bug in bootpath handling.  It appears as if the
          bootpath can appear in a couple of formats: "/fd@0,0", which
          is what bootpath_fake() creates on v0 proms and may be
          passed by some v2 proms, and "/fd0" which is what the
          v2 prom on my SS2 passes.  We now handle both formats.

        - Use a mountroot hook to eject the floppy and wait for
          the user to insert a filesystem floppy if we're the boot/root
          device.
