Hi all,
Alexander Graf implemented multi-boot kernel loading during
his work to run Darwin inside Qemu/KVM. As the boot loader
expects to load the kernel in an EFI environment a custom
booter is used to load the kernel using a legacy BIOS.
This is a port of the patch to the new extload / INT 19
machinery (including minor cleanups).
The memory map doesn't seem to work. It's all zeros for me (haven't
looked for the reason yet) and that kills my kernel. When I disable the
memory map part, the kernel seems to boot correctly and it sees all the
modules with the right command lines.
Once these basic things work, another nice feature would be gzip
support. It took me some minutes until I realized that I tried to feed
it a gzipped kernel which didn't work, of course.
