Module Name:    src

        src/sys/arch/i386/conf: kern.ldscript kern.ldscript.4MB

Log Message:
New linker scripts for the i386 kernel. The main improvement is setting the
physical load address correctly. (Before, it was set to the same very high
value as the virtual address.)

with some modifications by me, mainly to make the output more similar to
the current one, and to not hardwire the physical and virtual addresses.

Now an unpatched grub can load a NetBSD Multiboot kernel.
