Directories: oskit/boot/multiboot
Target: mbboot.o mkmbimage
Documentation: some in doc/intro.tex
Original Code Source: Flux Research Group, University of Utah
Description:
This directory implements a MultiBoot->MultiBoot boot-adaptor.
It allows the user to create another MultiBoot-compliant
kernel from a MultiBoot-compliant kernel plus any arbitrary
boot-modules.
If no boot-modules are specified, then this directory basically
implements the identity function.
mkmbimage is a script for linking a MultiBoot kernel image and
arbitrary boot-modules with mbboot.o to create an image
loadable by a MultiBoot-compliant boot loader,
such as GRUB or netboot.
mbboot.o creates a multiboot_info struct from the information
in its own multiboot_info struct,
as well as information about any boot-modules the mkmbimage
script may have added.
It then passes this to the kernel it will boot.
