Message-ID: <DBEFB879C02ADBF72E9DBA6C2481D369@felloff.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CD2B63B7FCBEF6C0ECC64BAFF6980663@gmail.com>

it is supporting the multiboot standard.

any multiboot capable bootloader (grub, coreboot, qemu,
syslinux, linux kexec) can start our kernel file directly,
the plan9.ini is (optionally) passed as a "module"
(like initrd).

this is done by having a second entry point in the kernel
dedicated for multiboot, which also handles things like
getting the framebuffer configuration and memory map from
multiboot parameters and converting them into internal
plan9.ini format.

9boot and /dev/reboot (yes, you can start a plan9 kernel
from a plan9 kernel) enter the kernel thru the classical
a.out entry point.
