 @niconiconi @a1ba thanks for the informative reply to my snark haha. I wrote my own bootloader 22 years ago in one sector that could boot a raw payload from disk, and I forgot about things like serial drivers for keyboard where it's on an addon card or something like that.
@Moon @niconiconi @a1ba Writing bootloaders was fun back in the day. I wrote one for PDP-11 with 8-inch floppy, with the limiting factor it needing to fit into a 128-byte sector. Would not want to do anything in the area today.

@Moon@shitposter.club @a1ba@suya.place Yes, GRUB 2's configure.ac has 2000 lines.
