Changeset 144 for trunk/bootcode/airboot.asm

Message:

Scan the disks for info prior to partition scanning [v1.1.1-testing]

This populates the DISKINFO structures for each disk found, which means
that size, BIOS geometry, LVM info etc. is now available.

CAUTION:
This is a testbuild !
AirBoot uses the BIOS to access disks and a small coding error can trash
partition tables or other vital disk structures. You are advised to make
backups of TRACK0 and EBRs before using this testbuild. More info at:
