Description:
This directory implements a MultiBoot->BSD boot-adaptor.
It allows the user to create a BSD-bootable image from a
MultiBoot-compliant kernel plus any arbitrary boot-modules.
mkbsdimage is a script for linking a kernel image
and arbitrary boot-modules
with bsdboot.o to create an image loadable by the
BSD boot loader.
bsdboot.o is the icky magic needed to interface with
the BSD boot loader.
It takes the info given to it by the BSD boot loader (boothowto, etc),
as well as the boot-module info added by mkbsdimage,
and creates a multiboot_info struct to pass to the booted
kernel.
