This doesn't affect system functionality, but somewhat reduces the
reliance on complicated hardcoded paths. It also allows the user to
simply link /init (which is normally a symbolic link) to another program
to run it instead of SystemServer as the default option.
This implements a very basic VGA device using the information provided
to us by the bootloader in the multiboot header. This allows Serenity to
boot to the desktop on basically any halfway modern system.
Define the multiboot info struct properly so we don't have to grab at byte
offsets in the memory access checker code. Also print kernel command line
in init().
The old bootloader was hilariously complicated, requiring a floppy disk with
the kernel on it, and a hard drive with the file system. This patch removes
the floppy disk from the equation and replaces it with a multiboot header.
This means the kernel can now be booted with qemu-system-i386 -kernel kernel
Instead of cowboy-calling the VESA BIOS in the bootloader, find the emulator
VGA adapter by scanning the PCI bus. Then set up the desired video mode by
sending device commands.
(also increase the number of sectors loaded by the bootloader in the
since I just noticed we were at the limit. This is not the ideal way
of doing this.)
