I think it is a good idea to have a way to test JJOS directly on a target
platform (i.e. an emulator). However, I remind you that my boot loader should
work also from an HD on a *real* Intel platfrom.
Iain, I'll prepare a pre-beta distribution (for evaluation and test) of my boot
loader, however, I think it is better to include the code in a bundle only when
my boot loader will work with disk partitions.
