boot/bios/ now holds the MBR, the El Torito stub and the real-mode stage
2; boot/uefi/ is empty and documented.
Separate directories rather than #ifdefs, because the two share almost
nothing. A BIOS loader lives in 16-bit real mode, reaches the firmware
through software interrupts, and walks itself up into long mode. A UEFI
loader is a 64-bit PE that the firmware has already placed in long mode
with paging on, calling services through a table of function pointers.
What they do share is the hand-off contract, which boot/README.md now
writes down: ELF segments placed, long mode, a 24-byte-entry memory map
at E820_MAP_ADDR, framebuffer geometry at VBE_INFO_ADDR.
That contract is the point of documenting it now. UEFI's GetMemoryMap
returns EFI_MEMORY_DESCRIPTORs, and the right move is to translate them
into the entries kernel/arch/x86_64/e820.c already parses rather than
teach the kernel a second format.
Build output paths under $(BUILD)/boot are unchanged; only sources moved.
run.ps1 is a .ps1 that does not live under tools/, so every sweep that
fixed the other launchers went straight past it:
- hdb defaulted to build/fs.img, which nothing builds since SchFS
became the root, so it pointed at a file that does not exist. QEMU
came up with no usable disk on device 1 and the kernel panicked with
SCHFS_ROOT -- "no SchFS volume on the root device". That is exactly
the failure this script exists to prevent.
- a -SchFS switch built around the old arrangement, where SchFS was a
secondary volume and needed `make ramroot` to free device 1. There
is no such arrangement now; every boot is a SchFS boot.
- `cd /d/DEV/SchOS` hardcoded into the build invocation. It survived
the Schunix -> SchOS rename by luck and would break on any clone.
Derived from $PSScriptRoot now.
- a hardcoded scoop QEMU path, and build\ backslash literals.
- only -vga std, where the Makefile also attaches virtio-gpu-pci.
The magic check is SchFS-only now and prints the bytes it actually read
when it fails.
SchFS itself is fine: it mounts on 1, 2 and 4 CPUs, and all seven
bootcheck suites pass.
Claude Code keeps per-project memory at <home>/.claude/projects/<key>/,
where <key> is the project's absolute path with every separator and the
drive colon turned into a dash. That makes it both rename-fragile and
machine-specific, and this project has hit each of those once:
- D:\DEV\Schunix -> D:\DEV\SchOS changed the key, and 43 memories were
invisible until moved across by hand.
- Development happens from Windows and from Linux, and each looks in a
different place for the same checkout.
Committing .claude/memory/ fixes both -- git carries it across renames
and between hosts -- and `import` puts it wherever the local machine
expects. .claude/settings.local.json stays ignored: those are per-machine
permissions.
The colon maps to a dash rather than being dropped. Deleting it gives
D-DEV-SchOS, which matches nothing and silently finds zero memories; that
was the first attempt. On Git Bash the key comes from `cygpath -w`,
because Claude Code is a Windows program and sees D:\DEV\SchOS, not
/d/DEV/SchOS.
