Ahhh, after looking harder, I see the typo

I use this bootloader in gokrazy and blogged about debugging a limitation in it a while ago: https://michael.stapelberg.ch/posts/2024-02-11-minimal-linux...

It’s not meant to be full-featured. It shows how to write a bootloader that’s smaller than 512 bytes.

It's not supposed to be better than lilo, just code golf. Limine is pretty much the only serious bootloader gunning for the spot lilo/elilo was going for.

With EFI, you can just boot straight into Linux without any bootloader.

Yes. BIOS. Real mode. Not that I've been missing them these 30 years, and they are still in place. It gives a weird feeling.

I mean, if you target ancient baroque hardware like e.g. ZX Spectrum, you specifically target an ancient machine. But this is expected to work on any modern x86 hardware, while it feels like code for a 80286, and likely would run there. And this ancient stuff is still supported and actively used.
