16 ;; Some final tidying before jumping to a kernel or bootsector
23 ; Shut down anything transient. *No segment assumptions*.
24 ; Can trash any registers.
29 ; Linux wants the floppy motor shut off before starting the kernel,
30 ; at least bootsect.S seems to imply so. If we don't load the floppy
31 ; driver, this is *definitely* so!
37 %if 0 ; This bug report has not been substantiated!
38 ; Vmware crashes if we scroll in the decompressor! Try to detect vmware
39 ; and if it is Vmware, clear the screen...
42 mov ecx, 10 ; Get version
48 mov ax,0x0003 ; Set mode (clear screen/home cursor)
