Hi,
someone added MenuetOS (http://www.menuetos.net/) to the list of LinuxBIOS payloads in the wiki.
MenuetOS seems to be a small (1.44 MB), graphical operating system written completely in assembler. And it's GPL'd.
Has anybody ever tried using it with LinuxBIOS? FWIW, it runs just fine in QEMU:
wget http://mesh.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/menuet/M32-084.ZIP unzip M32-084.ZIP qemu -fda M32-084.IMG -std-vga
I'm not so sure whether it will run using LinuxBIOS, though. From looking at the code it seems to do BIOS (interrupt) calls, if I'm not mistaken. Examples:
SHUTDOWN.INC:
mov ax,0x0000 ; reset drive mov dx,0x0000 int 0x13
BOOTCODE.INC:
mov ah,0x87 int 0x15
Does this mean MenuetOS will not run with LinuxBIOS?
Thanks, Uwe.
