mmu_map_physical_memory() altogether, though.

you choose it in the menu.
The boot loader now always switches into a graphics mode unless it's in
debug mode (currently triggered by pressing the escape key on startup).
That means, "Standard VGA" now actually means mode 0x12 (640x480x4)
instead of text mode.
Since the current limited boot logo code would do stupid things with VGA
planes, there will now only be some colored blocks visible during boot.
Implemented support for monochrome modes in the frame buffer console.
Additionally, the frame buffer console now has support for the VGA mode; it
will treat all 4 bit modes as monochrome for now (the VGA 0x12 mode is a
planar mode so this works nicely).

buffer resolution changes during execution (ie. if the boot menu is opened late
and you change the video mode).

limit.
This call was actually already used this way in the kernel, so that
the TLS and TSS segments were much too large (harmless but incorrect).

Added help texts to some safe mode options.

MenuItem::SetData() now asks for a const parameter.
The safemode menu options now set their MenuItem::Data() to the safemode option string.

partitioning system module relies on it, otherwise extended
partitions won't be recognized.
* Be a little less lazy and do the priority partition recognition,
i.e. all partitioning systems are asked to identify a partition and
the one that believes it can handle the partition best, wins the pot.

was one mode change before - took me quite some time to figure this out; now
we just do a mode change to the standard text mode; this is probably a good
idea anyway to make sure we're running in the correct text mode for the boot
menu.
The error check for the VESA BIOS calls were not really correct, even if
they worked. The vbe_mode_info structure is now cleared before the mode
info is requested (as suggested in Ralf Brown's interrupt list).

systems: good old A20 gate was not properly enabled on all hardware. Even
if it's not perfect now, either, it seems to work on many more systems
(all I have access to, anyway).
Please report if you have any issues with the 0x92 port A20 gate method.

respectively; the area from 0x9f000-0x100000 is not really usable anyway, so
we can safely cut down the maximum size of the boot loader to around 500 kB.
Therefore, the first free physical page is now at 0x100000 straight.

It will now load all settings in the kernel driver settings directory
and pass them over to the kernel (unparsed).
Additionally, it allows other parts of the boot loader to access
driver_settings just like in the kernel.
Moved the switch to the logo in the boot loader much further to the end
of the boot loader's life cycle. This is done so that the boot loader
can directly use the video mode as configured in Haiku, without a jumping
logo. Since the delay will be noticeable on a real system, we might want
to introduce a second different boot logo, though. We'll see.
stdio.cpp now also exports errno (and _errnop). Might be changed to a
different approach later as well (it's now done this way so that strtol.o
can be taken over unchanged from libroot.so).

When the 0xe820 memory map method doesn't work for whatever reason (broken BIOS),
it currently just assumes to have 32 MB - it now also prints out a warning when
it does so.

"Dumb" checksum/size recognition is not yet implemented (stores only the

off to enable bright background colors. It's now always done which enabled
me to improve the slider colors a bit.
Therefore, console_set_color() no longer clears bit 8 from the background color.
Now no longer tries to change the palette in non-8-bit modes; that fixes
the strange colors I got in high and true color modes (VESA palette changing
would fail and the fallback VGA palette changing was responsible for the effect).

serial_init() is now called from start().
Changed the way the serial debug output is served: instead of having
the console node to dump everything to serial, too, only dprintf()
triggers serial output now.
dprintf() is now silent unless in debug mode; serial output could
be enabled separetely, though (currently only at build time).
There is no need to disable serial output while the menu is running.
Removed unnecessary grist from the Jamfile.

some stuff blinked and had wrong colors), we now have a new color scheme
in the boot loader. Not perfect, but looks okay and the same on Bochs and
real machines.
Made changing the colors again easier by moving most colors to constants.
We now have 3 lines for help texts.

Now clears the screen and scrolls using the current colors (which allows
for other background colors than black).
console_set_color() no longer allows to set the 8 bit of the background
color which indicates blinking.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@9753 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
Added comments about which colors can be used for what (unlike Bochs,
real systems support blinking modes, and therefore only 7 bits for
the background color).

or I am messing things up (it will now use good old VGA palette programming).
This fixes the strange colors on my system, should investigate on how to
properly use the VESA stuff here.
Debug output now goes through dprintf().

needed. Also resets the parent pointer of its children.

No longer prints out the root directory contents of all file systems.
