* Wed Jan 15 2003 Ken Yap - New series 1.4. Downloadable Lua interpreter.
* Sat Dec 28 2002 Ken Yap - Merged in changes by Eric Biederman to compute and store a checksum in image. Ready for ELF parameter passing convention.
* Sat Nov 30 2002 Masaru Kawashima - Modified mknbi.spec mainly to include /usr/lib/mknbi/menu and COPYING
* Mon Oct 21 2002 Ken Yap - Fixed start32.S to not rely on where it\'s called from, essential for booting from Etherboot 5.1+. For this we have to switch GDT like startmenu.S does.
* Fri Aug 16 2002 Ken Yap - Robb Main contributed an enhanced menu implementation, mknbi-nfl
* Sat Jul 06 2002 Ken Yap - Add an EXTRAVERSION to Makefile, to be printed out by first32.c.- Modified call to int15h/e801 in start32.S to check for return values in CX, DX in case BIOS doesn\'t return them in AX, BX.- Ported internal menu program from Etherboot to be external menuprogram for mknbi-menu.- Updated URL for FreeDOS kernel sources.
* Wed Mar 20 2002 Ken Yap - Add E820H memory sizing routines.- Don\'t put ramdisk higher than larger of 896MB and setup.S:ramdisk_max
* Tue Jan 15 2002 Ken Yap - Provide Netboot boot block as altboot.bin
* Thu Nov 15 2001 Ken Yap - Implement --rdbase for mknbi-fdos and mknbi-dos to specify starting address of ramdisk (floppy image).- Make first.
*dos depend on Makefile so that the version signature gets updated when the version is updated.- Print some friendly advice if --ip is not specified and there is no ramdisk argument (i.e. probably needs NFSroot).- Shuffle segments to make more space for parameters and first32. This version and future versions may not work with Etherboot images that have been compiled with BOOTP_DATA_AT_0x93Cxx. (There is some reprieve due to first32.c not using all 6kB of the allocated room yet, but that space may be used some day.)- Implement interception and decoding of the mem= kernel parameter to use as top of memory for the purpose of relocating the ramdisk.
* Fri Sep 21 2001 Ken Yap - Small fixes to allow make -j, print a warning if zImage is too large, and implement --disableharddisk option.
* Fri Aug 03 2001 Ken Yap - Parameters passed to kernel are duplicated due to extra lines in mknbi.pl, remove one set of lines.- Use new (s)printf that has no buffer and thus no limit on stdout length per call.
* Sun Jul 29 2001 Ken Yap - Implement --rdbase to control ramdisk load address.- Implement missing VENDOR_SELECTION feature per spec.- Merged in support for --rootmode=rw|ro.- Minor documentation updates
* Mon Jun 04 2001 Ken Yap - Forgot to update consistency checking code in mknbi-
*dos to take into account full version number.- Moving Etherboot to 0x94000 broke mknbi-fdos because setup segment was at 0x97000. Move setup segment to 0x93000. Actually ($reloc + 0x300)
* 16.
* Sat May 05 2001 Ken Yap - Support setup.S version 0x0202, put version in vendortag- Derive version number of mknbi.pl and first32.c from VERSION in Makefile.- Replace 0x9000 by $relocseg, and add support for placement of Linux segments at 0x90000 and 0x80000 upwards.- Makefile now makes 2 more versions of first32{,pm,elf}.linux for placement at 0x92200 and 0x82200.
* Mon Apr 09 2001 Ken Yap - Make this a production release.
* Sun Mar 11 2001 Ken Yap - Development release. Unpack format fix in Perl code. Pass drive number to DOS. Update memory map comments in first32.c.
* Thu Feb 08 2001 Ken Yap - Development release. New binary stubs in C, for protected mode, for ELF, for menu. Little fixes in Perl code.
* Wed Nov 29 2000 Ken Yap - Fixed bug in first-linux.S, don\'t use ROM values for missing parameters
