Redox Loader Stub

What?

The Redox loader was written in order to support loading the Redox kernel from standard filesystems.

Why?

Currently the Redox bootloader supports booting only from a RedoxFS partition

Building

Make sure to have the following dependencies installed:

• Rust
• xargo

Untar sample_images/fs_redoxfs.tar.gz and then run make run_kvm. A custom RedoxFS image can be passed using make run_kvm REDOXFS=<path_to_redox_fs>.REDOXFS defaults to sample_images/fs_redoxfs.bin

Tweaks

• redox-loader currently boots from the first bootable partition it sees. Modify bootloader/x86_64/bootsector.asm to set the bootable partition.
