Clean up the memory display



Line and Brief Description

1 The screen has been cleared in main.asm before calling cmain( ) in ldrinit.c. The first thing done when cmain( ) starts is to print the initialization message.

2-3 Display the values passed from the black box to the loader. Also, loaderend is displayed which is the offset after stacktop is calculated in main.asm.

4 Display COM and LPT port values read from system in main.asm

5 Open and close using uFSD then display loader size. Next, display default COM port.

6 CPU checks done, display some info.

7 Calculate IODelay and enable A20 (uses IODelay). The INT15-C1 message is just for me.

8 Probed PCI values (* irq assigned)

9 PCI BIOS message, I know – it should be 2.10, and number of PCI buses. DosHelp configuration values as status. Last, EISA message just indicates but no configuration.

10 Where I am at now – most of the linux memory configuration working.
