This folder contains the source for OS/K's bootloader.
OS/K being intended to only run on x86-64 systems, we have not divided
this folder into one sub-folder per architecture.

It is divided in two parts each of exactly 512 bytes:
    - mbr.s (and its auxiliary file mbr.inc)
        This is our Master Boot Record (MBR). It switches to long mode
        (64 bits mode) then loads the second half of the bootloader.
        The MBR must be placed precisely on the first sector of the hard drive.

    - loader.s
        This is the Kernel Loader. It switches to long mode and makes stuff.
