im porting minix, so the custom guest will be that. Im having to create a new
builder for it, because it's a.out format and only compiles with amsterdam
compiler kit. porting to gcc would be quite a big job. the kernel image itself
is also a strange format, not just a.out, but multiple a.out processes
concatenated together. For these reasons i decided a new builder was needed.
could I get the builder to map all the available memory into the bootstrap
pagetables?
