mboot: reimplement the Solaris DHCP hack, add compliant a.out mode

Reimplement the Solaris DHCP information passing hack.

Add a spec-compliant mode for the "a.out kludge".  The spec is pretty
clear that the bit should override the ELF header (after all,
otherwise there wouldn't be any need for the bit), but Grub
disagrees.  We default to Grub-compliant mode, as Solaris seems to set
the bit even though it's an ELF kernel, but add the option to enable
spec-compliant mode, as apparently some versions of FreeBSD need it.

15 years agomboot: fix cmdline; a few more layout tweaks

mboot: fix cmdline; a few more layout tweaks

Fix module command lines (it was overwriting the main kernel command
line); a few minor layout tweaks.  In particular, we require the
section header to be page-aligned, but not the subsequent sections.

With this, I can get Xen to boot.

15 years agomboot: skip --- marker; decompress all files

mboot: skip --- marker; decompress all files

When walking the argument list we need to skip --- markers.

Grub, and the old mboot.c32, seem to transparently decompress all
files, not just the main one, so do the same.
