Mike Smith	948486abe3	Initial integration of the i386 bootloader and BTX. ... - Discard large amounts of BIOS-related code in favour of the more compact BTX vm86 interface. - Build the loader module as ELF, although the resulting object is a.out, make gensetdefs 32/64-bit sensitive and use a single copy of it. - Throw away installboot, as it's no longer required. - Use direct bcopy operations in the i386_copy module, as BTX maps the first 16M of memory. Check operations against the detected size of actual memory.	1998-09-17 23:52:16 +00:00

Robert Nordier	aa7af79537	BTX (aka the boot extender) is an i386 kernel that hosts 32-bit ... bootstrap programs, and provides page-level protection, hardware interrupt reflection, a virtual-8086 mode interface to BIOS, etc.	1998-09-12 04:29:23 +00:00
