Thanks Jakub....

I will remove the extra copy as it is not required .Kernel can read it
directly from bootinfo.
I will try to check the code to find some reasons on whether kernel
guarantees it would not overwrite bootinfo,

Also i will look forward to second step to get serial working and studying
more about HelenOS.

Happy vacations :-)
