Migrate to the homebrew bootloader

Open SamTebbs33 opened this issue 6 years ago • 4 comments

It would be nice to at some point use the super-duper bootloader written by @DrDeano . Perhaps with the stretch goal of migrating some of it to Zig if we can (probably a separate issue).

Perhaps we should reconsider this, or at least postpone it. Working on the homebrew bootloader to get it to the same level of functionality as grub would take time that could be spent on other interesting and important tasks

Yes, this would be a big project, maybe in the future be moved as a separate repo and have it be worked on separately then be integrated when ready. It would be nice to get it working. Might have a look into what needs to be added to the bootloader for it to be usable. Probably step one would be to get it multiboot complaint, well, as least the parts we need.

Agreed. Multiboot compliance (at least what we need of it) would be very nice. Should we close this or keep it open?

Keep open for now so we don't for get :P Then when we have a organisation and have this is a repo, then can close.
