Subject: [PATCH] Remove bootsect_helper and A comment fix (III)
Date: Thu, 22 Apr 2004 23:08:28 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4087DFEC.60704@greatcn.org> (raw)

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 335 bytes --]

Hello,

Since "Direct booting from floppy is no longer supported", this patch is
to remove the bootsect_helper code. And also a comment fix.

Wish my patch is in correct format this time. The other two platforms 
x86_64 and PC-9800 should also be cleaned up too.
