"booted_from_image" in the kernel_args' boot_disk structure.
Also, added fields "cd" and "user_selected".
A CHOICE_MENU menu can now have a choice text - this is automatically updated
as entries in the menu get selected.
The boot volume menu now has the initial choice text "CD-ROM or hard drive"
in case the boot loader was loaded from an image. The "Rescan volumes" item
is no longer selected by default (only if there was no boot volume found) - but
it's still functionless anyway.
The TAR fs will now appear as "Boot from CD-ROM" in the boot volume menu.

like floppy or CD boot.
This allows it to reduce the number of scans needed to identify the boot
partition - when booted from a real floppy, this speeds up the boot
process by a magnitude.
Also, the loader now has a fall back in case there were no "boot" links
on the disk - the current boot floppy script doesn't create them.
With these changes, I was able to boot into a HD based Haiku installation
from a floppy disk. It's not yet enough to boot from CD (as the boot
device selection is a bit too simplistic right now), but it will eventually
come next. Testing is a lot slower here, though, as neither qemu nor
Bochs support multi-session CDs (at least I have no idea how to get them
to do this).

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

The driver settings are put into the kernel_args memory section and
copied on kernel startup.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@10635 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
now fields that carry information about the boot disk and partition.

add_partitions_for(), though).
The partition now also tracks if it refers to a partitioning system or not.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@9745 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
Added super item/menu getters, and a new fSuperItem field.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@9524 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
Removed the "str" field I have no idea what it could have been useful for.
Changed the frame buffer part of the kernel args - "already_mapped" is
no longer there, as it doesn't make a lot of sense.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@9413 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
various addr_range arrays in the kernel_args structure.

Replaced its functionality by a new platform_boot_options() call.

The Partition class now maintains a module name, accessible via the new
method ModuleName().
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@7983 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
Changed the kernel image data to a preloaded image as well, to simplify
handling in the kernel.

kernel didn't count an empty structure, while the boot loader reserved
4 bytes for it - dunno why, a _PACKED everywhere didn't help; it's probably
a compile option issue.
To be on the safe side always, I've now added this dummy.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@7278 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
addr_t for the address base/size instead of (the non-portable) uint32.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/trunk/current@7277 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
Updated the license; it doesn't contain a single line of the former stage2.h
anymore, and we don't have to blame Travis for it :)
