Modified files:
sys/boot/i386/loader Makefile conf.c
Log:
Add support for loading bzip2-compressed kernels and modules. This support
is turned off by default and could be enabled by defining LOADER_BZIP2_SUPPORT
make variable. Also make gzip support optional (turned on by default) -
it could be turned off via LOADER_NO_GZIP_SUPPORT make variable.
Please note, that due to limit on the amount of memory available to the
loader(8), it is possible to load modules/kernels compressed with the smallest
block size supported by the bzip2 - 100k (`-1' bzip2(1) option), however
even in this mode bzip2(1) usually provides better compression ratio than
gzip(1) in its best compression mode.
