Are you allright, Alex? :-)

This is in a branch, OLPC ("branches/olpc/").
I had to disable critical warnings in freeldr so I don't have to do a  
BIOS-less keyboard support in olpc-freeldr in order to just hit ENTER  
one time during the bootup.

And certainly, when trunk's bootvid has VGA dependency coded into the  
very heart of it, I had to get old bootvid so that I could do the  
framebuffer support (no VGA bios in OLPC hardware). Also in that same  
branch.


As for hto's (Dmitry) patches - there are controversial opinions, but  
I'm trying to review and discuss commits he is doing.


WBR,
Aleksey Bragin.
