okay... more information:
i've been playing around with qemu to test that boot issue.
unfortunately gdb hangs at some point and it's really hard to debug
without symbols and with the CPU happily switching between protected
and real mode...
anyways:
- latest sys/boot sources
- gcc2 bootblocks work
- gcc3 bootblocks don't. failure: BTX error stuff
while debugging it became obvious that it must be something within
boot2.c: sometimes it showed "No /boot/loader" and then just 2 BTX
halted stuff.
Another fact is that it takes 3 seconds for the BTX to fail, whereas
pressing any key instantly crashes it. must be somewhere between that
printf() in load() and the printf() in main() that outputs the prompt.
or this one gets overwritten by the error message. oh well.
so long for this report, cheers
