Hello. Now when boot command isn't in kernel anymore I don't see why
loader.c stays in kernel. Here is the patch to move it to boot.mod

This is not useful in reality, because the loader interface needs to be pre-loaded into core.img anyway.

Why? I successfully tested core.img with just pc fat and biosdisk modules integrated. It loads boot.mod just fine and boots linux and multiboot with no problem

modules, the more the size of core.img is, as long as they are all pre-loaded.
