Description DI. Christian Gusenbauer 1995-05-09 12:40:01 UTC 
	The bootstrap loader starts the kernel and passes one argument
	"howto" to the kernel. This is also true when using kzip'ed kernels,
	but in "/sys/i386/boot/kzipboot/head.S" the function "_boot" is called
	which puts another int on the stack, so the parameter "howto" of the
	function "boot" refers to the wrong address.

Fix: 

Add a dummy-parameter to the function "boot", like:

		void boot (int dummy, int howto)
How-To-Repeat: 	Just boot a kzip'ed kernel.
