+The contents of boot_params are used to pass parameters from the
16-bit realmode code of the kernel to the 32-bit part. References/settings
to it mainly are in:
0x2d0 - 0x600 E820MAP
0x600 - 0x7ff EDDBUF (setup.S) for disk signature read sector
0x600 - 0x7eb EDDBUF (setup.S) for edd data
-
-0x800 string, 2K max COMMAND_LINE, the kernel commandline as
- copied using CL_OFFSET.
- Note: this will be copied once more by setup.c
- into a local buffer which is only 256 bytes long.
- ( #define COMMAND_LINE_SIZE 256 )
# int 13h ah=08h "Legacy Get Device Parameters"
#
# A buffer of size EDDMAXNR*(EDDEXTSIZE+EDDPARMSIZE) is reserved for our use
-# in the empty_zero_page at EDDBUF. The first four bytes of which are
+# in the boot_params at EDDBUF. The first four bytes of which are
# used to store the device number, interface support map and version
# results from fn41. The next four bytes are used to store the legacy
# cylinders, heads, and sectors from fn08. The following 74 bytes are used to
# the structure, and the fn41 and fn08 results are stored at offsets
# from there. This removes the need to increment the pointer for
# every store, and leaves it ready for the fn48 call.
-# A second one-byte buffer, EDDNR, in the empty_zero_page stores
+# A second one-byte buffer, EDDNR, in boot_params stores
# the number of BIOS devices which exist, up to EDDMAXNR.
-# In setup.c, copy_edd() stores both empty_zero_page buffers away
+# In setup.c, copy_edd() stores both boot_params buffers away
# for later use, as they would get overwritten otherwise.
# This code is sensitive to the size of the structs in edd.h
