Hello all. What we have here is a 256 byte multiboot kernel for Synchrony 2016!
You'll need a multiboot compatible bootloader to run it. GRUB2 will do nicely.
To run it, save it to your harddrive (/boot is easiest if you're running Linux).
Then reboot the machine. When the GRUB2 menu comes up, press C to enter command
line mode. Then you'll need to boot the kernel manually. It usually goes
something like
multiboot (hd0,msdos1)/path/to/tides.img
boot
If you put it in /boot, sometimes the boot directory has its own partition. In
this case you'd just enter
multiboot (hd0,msdos1)/tides.img
boot
GRUB2 has tab completion, and you may need to use it in order to dig around for
the proper partition and directory. It should also work if you save it to a NTFS
partition, but I haven't tested this. Once you get it running, hit escape to
reboot! If you have any trouble getting it running, just e-mail me and I'll help
you sort it out :) If all else fails, watch the video at
