* docs/multiboot.texi: Misc editorial changes:
Avoid using `commercial' as a synonym for `non-free'
(see http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Commercial).
Make a clear distinction between kernels and Operating Systems
(Linux is a kernel, FreeBSD and NetBSD are Operating Systems, Mach
is a microkernel, VSTa is something in-between).
Use 64-bit types to describe 64-bit datum (instead of splitting in
two 32-bit fields). Little endianess assumption applies (as per
Terminology section).
Update status of GNU GRUB relative to version 2.
Based on patch from Ville Skyttä <ville.skytta@iki.fi>
* docs/multiboot.texi: Fix some spelling.
* docs/internals.texi: Likewise.
* docs/grub.texi: Likewise.
* docs/grub.texi: Changed the license term to the GNU Free
Documentation License 1.2.
* docs/multiboot.texi: Reformatted to show the license term
and the version number explicitly.
* docs/fdl.texi: New file.
* docs/Makefile.am (grub_TEXINFOS): Added fdl.texi.
Define the behavior of the boot loader when the load end address
and the bss end address are zero in the Multiboot Specification,
and add the support into GRUB. I've modified a patch from Yuri
Zaporogets <yuriz@ukr.net>.
* stage2/boot.c (load_image): In the case of Multiboot a.out
kludge, set the load end address to the load address plus the
size of the OS image file, if it is zero. Similarly, set the bss
end address to the load end address, if it is zero.
* util/mbchk.c (check_multiboot): Don't check if the load
address is greater than or equal to the load end address, if the
load end address is zero. Don't check if the load end address is
greater than the bss end address, if the bss end address is
zero. And, don't check if the load end address is less than or
equal to the entry address, if the load end address is zero.
* docs/multiboot.texi (The address fields of Multiboot header):
Added descriptions about the behavior of the boot loader when
LOAD_END_ADDR is zero and BSS_END_ADDR is zero.
