[OpenBIOS] bootloader

[Edwin Rhodes]

why dont you just use the traditional method of booting an os and forget
about using a multibootloader. ps also, will you support all the traditional
bios calls? i think that it would be a very good idea to otherwise you would
be at a compatibility disadvantage from the viewpoint that only os's that
dont call on the bios would work.
anyway keep up the good work. ps is the source availiable +the image? also
will it work on a non intel pci chipset, ie. isa 386 board.
