Patch: new "modaddr" builtin

1999-11-12 Thread Michael Hohmuth
I have appended a patch that adds a new "modaddr" builtin command to GRUB. This command specifies the load address for Multiboot modules. It can only be used after a Multiboot kernel has been loaded. We found we needed a command like this because sometimes the memory locations of modules conflic

One more bug fix: When Edmund adapted the netboot code for GNU GRUB, he introduced a bug in currticks(): The top half of %edx could contain junk after calling the BIOS, yielding a garbage timer-tick value. This resulted in spurious timeouts in the netboot code. The patch below fixes this. Mich
