[ros-kernel] Re: Thoughts about loadros

[Phillip S. <ps...@cf...>]

You could boot freeldr from a floppy disk, that way without the floppy, you 
boot dos, insert floppy, and freeloader boots reactos.  If loadros were 
rewritten to chain load freeldr, I think it would only take about 100 lines 
of asm, if that.  Writing it in C would then require a dos C compiler.
