Paul just fixed our multiboot header issue, it now hangs in vmx,
instead of being rejected by vmx (side note: vmx is worth learning
from).
There is a little trick Geoff developed for debugging this early code,
you all may have seen it:
(from memory, looks like this)
#define WAVE(c) MOVB $c, AL; OUTB AL, $0x3f8
this may not be exactly right. The idea is that you can sprinkle these
in the l.s code to see where things stop:
entry point:
WAVE('p')
...
WAVE('l')
etc.
It's still handy enough that I was using it last week for this purpose.
If you get to the JMP main you will see
plan9 says hi there
or whatever you've set up.
Just be careful: AX gets changed!
But there's no need to dive into the deep end, if you are new to this.
We still need the PRs to remove the PROCESS file, license, and those
few other things
There are no jobs too small.
We have someone on coreboot, who for years has taken on the task of
keeping the tree tidy. He is very much appreciated, even though he
does not write much code. That is always helpful.
