functions - it no longer terminates the CD-ROM emulation, but only checks the status,
and therefore, it's now called by platform_register_boot_device() instead of from
platform_start_kernel().
This also makes the devices.h header useless.

in the adequate field in the kernel_args structure.
Renamed gCDFloppyBoot variable to gBootedFromImage (as network boot should look
similar).
The "kernel_args.boot_disk.cd" field is now maintained as well.
The print_item_at() menu function now prints the Menu::ChoiceText() instead
of that of its marked item.

"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.

loader will now respect the selection made by the boot image creator, and
just load every file system there is on that image.

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).

have an effect on floppies or CD-ROMs, but would have on real hard drives that require
CHS access.
Changed the cylinder-to-regs conversion in BIOSDrive::ReadAt() (that one was actually
correct) to make it look similar to the conversion in the opposite direction in
get_drive_parameters().

Renamed TarFS::Node to TarFS::File to correctly name the class hierarchy.

Implemented CHS support needed for smaller hard drives, CD-ROM, ...
Minor cleanup.

Also, freeing regions is now supported (but still only the last allocated region can be
freed, as that's currently good enough).
