Hi Farid,
Well, I've found out that 'g' was the right key. Of course, I tried 'h' at first, but due to some screen handling bug, only a part of the help screen appeared.
Meanwhile, I've done some hacking on bochs sources and was able to boot L4Ka with the template root_task. As already mailed, bochs' and l4ka' patches as well as some screen shots are available under:
http://home.kamp.net/home/farid.hajji/l4ka-bochs/
Once screen shot demonstrates what I mean about messed up screen handling.
Nop, the screen works like that intentionally. We usually use the serial line to debug (that is the reason to have VMWareGateway for WinNT (http://l4ka.org/tools/vmwaregateway.asp) - I redirect com1 to a named pipe of NT). The screen is divided into two parts - upper half is kernel output (12 lines) and lower half is the test app. That's why the root task prints in the middle of the screen. If you need a different setup - simply change NUM_LINES in l4-ka/kernel/kdb/x86.c from 12 to 25.
Was that GRUB-hack committed to CVS at subversions.gnu.org? I used the most recent GRUB sources.
AFAIK, the current grub version is based on Dresden's network grub - so could be ;)
