Log Message:
disable mmx/sse here too.  hopefully fixes amd64 /boot issues.
certainly changes the output in ways that gcc 4.1 doesn't.


Confirmed - this has fixed the problem with anita on amd64 - my test-bed 
has completed its first successful pass in more than two weeks!


Thanks!

 Enable LIBSA_PRINTF_LONGLONG_SUPPORT.
 Useful in any of the cases where we already print a (64-bit) daddr_t.

I'm surprised that doesn't explode the sizes of the boot code.

Modified Files:
src/sys/arch/i386/stand/boot: boot2.c

Log Message:
When a password is set for the bootloader (installboot -o password=...),
it currently complains about an unknown command and prints a usage if the
password is entered wrong:

...
Choose an option; RETURN for default; SPACE to stop countdown.
Option 1 will be chosen in 0 seconds.
Password: *
Password: *
Password: *
unknown command
commands are:
boot [xdNx:][filename] [-12acdqsvxz]
 (ex. hd0a:netbsd.old -s
ls [path]
dev xd[N[x]]:
consdev {pc|com[0123]|com[0123]kbd|auto}
modules {enabled|disabled}
load {path_to_module}
multiboot [xdNx:][filename] [args]
help|?
quit

Choose an option; RETURN for default; SPACE to stop countdown.
Option 1 will be chosen in 0 seconds.
...

This is confusing, plus someone may use it to determine bits of
information about the system. What should happen instead is that the user
is informed that the password is wrong:

...
Choose an option; RETURN for default; SPACE to stop countdown.
Option 1 will be chosen in 0 seconds.
Password: 
Password: 
Password: 
Wrong password.

Choose an option; RETURN for default; SPACE to stop countdown.
...

Implement the latter behaviour.
