From: Duje Mihanović Date: Sun, 8 May 2022 11:28:47 +0000 (+0200) Subject: Delete the old bootloader X-Git-Tag: 0.1.0~3 X-Git-Url: http://git.dujemihanovic.xyz/img/%7B%7B%20%24image.RelPermalink%20%7D%7D?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9cebed402b287f8efda4c7d5d55cf6339eb0607e;p=nameless-os.git Delete the old bootloader The new FAT32 bootloader has reached feature parity with the old bootloader (can actually load the kernel). The new bootloader also brings some nice improvements over the old bootloader such as loading the kernel at 1MB (fixing the potential issue that when the kernel grows large enough it will overwrite the EBDA and upper RAM before it ever happened) and automatically adapting to the kernel size, and as such I believe that there is no reason to keep the old bootloader in the source tree. --- diff --git a/boot/x86/old/a20.s b/boot/x86/old/a20.s deleted file mode 100644 index b1c86ce..0000000 --- a/boot/x86/old/a20.s +++ /dev/null @@ -1,113 +0,0 @@ -;
