Thu 20 Mar 2008 02:08:13 AM UTC, comment #4: Now that I think of it, I don't see why the initialisation in startup.S should be playing with hard drives at all. Perhaps this should be moved to biosdisk.mod, and this way you can avoid it entirely by not loading biosdisk.mod (e.g. using ata.mod instead).

Maybe this could be documented somewhere (FAQ?, not that it really is frequently asked though, I think). |
