I was hoping that we could pass it the same information we pass the

kernel. The e820 maps etc. I haven't looked into it too much, but ACPI tables for that information would be fine for me too.
But there the cat bites its tail. legacybios is the one that produces e820. And so far it produces pirq and acpi, too. It just doesnt make sense like this on real hardware. bochs bios is sure not much better.
So how does the kernel get an e820 map when you load it from filo? That was the pathway I meant.
filo makes one from the coreboot table.
