Log Message:
Enable Multiboot support by default since this kernel is the one to most likely benefit from this feature. Per anonymous suggestion in my blog.

Hum. Does it really work ? From what I understood of multiboot, it contains
both a way to pass environnement such as memory maps, and command line
variables. The environnement is different and is not passed using multiboot
I think, and command line variables are already handled properly.

Which "environment"?  If you mean all the bootinfo stuff, that's the
whole point of the code I added.  It takes the information passed in
by the Multiboot information structure (the one that contains the
memory map, the command line, etc.9 and converts it to native bootinfo
data so the NetBSD kernel behaves as expected.  Take a look at
arch/i386/i386/multiboot.c (specially, the setup_* functions).

It works fine (except for a possible problem with LKMs, something that
has just been reported to me).

Cheers,
