drochner	2092d92ef2	New, optional, method to get size of extended memory. It will be used for getextmem() if EXTENDED_MEMDETECT is defined. Worked on all tested machines. Thanks to all testers, especially Martin Husemann!	1997-08-14 15:22:00 +00:00
drochner	7713cd3fb6	Fix misleading comment.	1997-06-13 13:43:05 +00:00
sommerfe	9fefd40478	In 16-bit mode, mov %ax,%bx is interpreted as mov %eax,%ebx; this breaks zero-extension of the 16-bit memory size return from the BIOS. on at least one system, the trash left in the upper half of %eax causes the kernel to crash during VM system initialization when it thinks it has on the order of 2*31 bytes of memory to play with. We now say* mov %eax,%ebx, but mean mov %ax,%bx..	1997-03-19 18:12:10 +00:00
perry	816bb96145	Initial import of new boot code, created by Matthias Drochner with a little hacking by me. This isn't strictly identical to his 920312 release -- I've hacked it a bit -- but since we are taking over change control it doesn't matter much.	1997-03-14 02:40:32 +00:00
