// This a dirt simple boot loader, whose sole job is to boot
// an elf kernel image from the first IDE hard disk.
//
// DISK LAYOUT
//  * This program(boot.S and main.c) is the bootloader.  It should
//    be stored in the first sector of the disk.
//
//  * The 2nd sector onward holds the kernel image.
//
//  * The kernel image must be in ELF format.
//
// BOOT UP STEPS
//  * when the CPU boots it loads the BIOS into memory and executes it
//
//  * the BIOS intializes devices, sets up the interrupt routines, and
//    reads the first sector of the boot device(e.g., hard-drive)
//    into memory and jumps to it.
//
//  * Assuming this boot loader is stored in the first sector of the
//    hard-drive, this code takes over...
//
//  * control starts in bootloader.S -- which sets up protected mode,
//    and a stack so C code then run, then calls cmain()
//
//  * cmain() in this file takes over, 
//    reads in the kernel and jumps to it.
