Nigel b4cff3e667 Basic block allocation for physical memory allocation.
- 1 block = 4096 bytes : because this will make page fault handling possibly
somewhat easier

- 1 byte in the bitmap = 8 blocks of physical memory

unsure if the allocation is perfect ... guess i'll find out some day if this is actually correct.

The bitmap needs 16kb to keep track of 2gb of physical memory. Seems a decent percentage to me.

Multiboot integration
Multiboot information can be read by the kernel.


The goal

Writing a hobby operating system to better understand the basic building blocks of any operating system.Initially I'd like for my operating system to be able to run bash.


Operating System Technical specs/details

The operating system can print strings to the screen. The terminal/screen has scrolling so the latest messages are visible on the screen.
