The above is now two weeks old and we are further along in creating and starting the SYSINIT process.

We had been skipping around creating the complete I/O database, based on walking the ACPI tables, but that is now complete. We now go end-to-end through INIT.MAR with no side steps.

We are about to make it through a variety of page faults, creating the process page tables, and changing to exec mode. There was a lot of new code written many months ago that we are finally getting to step our way through.

We can boot the dump kernel.

We get as far on a DL380 as we do on VBox.
