Kernel: Use a multiboot header instead of a convoluted two-part bootloader.
The old bootloader was hilariously complicated, requiring a floppy disk with the kernel on it, and a hard drive with the file system. This patch removes the floppy disk from the equation and replaces it with a multiboot header. This means the kernel can now be booted with qemu-system-i386 -kernel kernel
