perry 2a9fe3a4e7 Actually return the BIOS error code (if any) generated by the reads 2000-05-21 16:59:28 +00:00
fvdl fb1b0e7a0b Shifting ecx without explicit prefix in real mode won't work. 1999-03-30 22:35:21 +00:00
drochner 62031ff978 fix some disk handling problems introduced in the last commits:
-read retries were botched, use the right sector count
-read-ahead buffer was effectively unused
-concentrate the handling of the weird BIOS geometry report at one place
-fallback for old floppies left cylinder count uninitialized

fvdl f8e221511b * query BIOS geometry information, possibly using the int 13 extensions.
* pass them on to the kernel
* print a message if the 2nd stage bootloader returns (i.e. fails)
  instead of just hanging.

ws 2791cf041a Fix a thinko which still prevented this to run on non-int13-ext machines.
Thanks to entropy@zippy.bernstein.com for pointing this out and testing the fix.

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.
