boot code and show it only when some hard disk is present.
- Adjusted detection timeouts for PS/2 and RS232 to the minimum
allowed by the specifications so we don't spend ages in hardware detection.
- Experimental NTFS reading support. (No boot code, no attribute lists, no decompression)

Otherwise it uses the boot drive passed in the DL register.
Updated the EXT2/3 installer to reflect the changes in the boot sector code for EXT2/3.
svn path=/trunk/; revision=4540
- Added assembler versions of memcmp() memcpy() memset()
- Implemented Int386() so that real-mode interrupts can be called from C-code
- Removed unnecessary call in DbgPrint() macro (freeldr.sys is ~16k smaller now)
- 64-bit lba sector addressing for disk calls
- Re-coded biosdisk.S as i386disk.c
- Re-coded mem.S as i386mem.c
- Re-coded rtlcode.S as i386rtl.c
- Cleaned up i386trap.S so that it only saves the registers once.
- Re-coded biosvid.S as i386vid.c
- Video fade in/out
- VESA text modes supported now
- Offscreen buffering to remove flicker
- Standardized format of boot sector so that BootPartition is stored right before 0xaa55
- Prefixed all file system functions with 'Fs'

Removed/disabled debugging code.
SetupLdr must not call BiosInt13ExtensionsSupported() to check extended int13 capabilities because they are already used to boot a CD and some BIOSes return incorrect results when a CD-ROM drive is checked.

- Boot sector code now reports to freeldr.sys the partition
that it was installed on. This is specified by a byte
value in the boot sector code. By default the boot partition
is set to zero which indicates the active (bootable)
partition, unless the installer sets the value to non-zero.
If FreeLoader is installed on a partition other than
the active (bootable) partition then the installer must
set this byte to that partition number. Otherwise
FreeLoader will not be able to find freeldr.ini.
- i386trap.S: Added debug macros BREAKPOINT(),
INSTRUCTION_BREAKPOINTX(), MEMORY_READWRITE_BREAKPOINTX(), &
MEMORY_WRITE_BREAKPOINTX().
- partition.c (DiskGetPartitionEntry): Add the relative offset
of the extended partition to the partitions start sector.
- ext2.c (Ext2ReadBlockPointerList, Ext2CopyIndirectBlockPointers,
Ext2CopyDoubleIndirectBlockPointers, Ext2CopyTripleIndirectBlockPointers):
Rewrote the block pointer functions so they actually work.
- ini_init.c (IniFileInitialize, IniOpenIniFile): Looks for freeldr.ini
on both the active (bootable) partition and the partition
passed in from the boot sector code.
- meminit.c (MmInitializeMemoryManager, MmFixupSystemMemoryMap,
MmGetEndAddressOfAnyMemory, MmGetAddressablePageCountIncludingHoles,
MmInitPageLookupTable): Fixed bug that would cause FreeLoader to
have an off-by-one error when accessing the last entry in the
page lookup table on systems with 4GB of memory (or memory mapped
at the end of the address space).
svn path=/trunk/; revision=3372
- Added protected mode exception handling in case FreeLoader crashes
- Reworked memory manager to use all of extended memory
- Reworked UI code, now supports multiple text-mode resolutions
svn path=/trunk/; revision=3010
Supports booting Linux bzImage kernels
No initrd support (yet)
No zImage support (yet)
No ext2 file system support (yet)
Forward slashes '/' as well as backslashes '\' can be used for path names in FAT & ISO-9660
Fixed bug in LBA code where is was only reading one sector even if you asked for more
Fixed bug in FAT code, was also present in ISO-9660 code
svn path=/trunk/; revision=2867
New .ini file format (sort of) - changed some parameter names, etc.
More efficient .ini file parsing code
More efficient use of memory, smaller image file
Total rewrite of file system code (the old stuff sucked)
VFAT Long File Names now supported!
ReactOS is the only boot type supported currently, disabled all others (temporarily)
