Class Boot

Object
  Boot

public class Boot
extends Object

A bootstrap program for the MiniKernel.

This program creates a Disk and launches the kernel by calling the POWER_ON interrupt. When the Kernel returns from the interrupt, we assume it wants to shut down.

The program expects four or more command-line arguments:

• a numeric parameter to pass to the Kernel's POWER_ON interrupt. The kernel stores this number in its bufferSize field.
• the name of a class that implements the disk,
• the size of the disk, in blocks,
• the name of shell program, and any arguments to the shell program.

An example invocation is

    java Boot 10 Disk 100 Shell
