space inbetween. The segments can be in inverse order now, too.
The same should be done in the kernel, too.

the boot process. Will experiment with larger sizes later (24k is the current
limit, due to the memory layout used by the platform dependent code).

"booted_from_image" in the kernel_args' boot_disk structure.
Also, added fields "cd" and "user_selected".
A CHOICE_MENU menu can now have a choice text - this is automatically updated
as entries in the menu get selected.
The boot volume menu now has the initial choice text "CD-ROM or hard drive"
in case the boot loader was loaded from an image. The "Rescan volumes" item
is no longer selected by default (only if there was no boot volume found) - but
it's still functionless anyway.
The TAR fs will now appear as "Boot from CD-ROM" in the boot volume menu.

loader will now respect the selection made by the boot image creator, and
just load every file system there is on that image.

like floppy or CD boot.
This allows it to reduce the number of scans needed to identify the boot
partition - when booted from a real floppy, this speeds up the boot
process by a magnitude.
Also, the loader now has a fall back in case there were no "boot" links
on the disk - the current boot floppy script doesn't create them.
With these changes, I was able to boot into a HD based Haiku installation
from a floppy disk. It's not yet enough to boot from CD (as the boot
device selection is a bit too simplistic right now), but it will eventually
come next. Testing is a lot slower here, though, as neither qemu nor
Bochs support multi-session CDs (at least I have no idea how to get them
to do this).

Renamed TarFS::Node to TarFS::File to correctly name the class hierarchy.

It expects the zipped TAR at offset 192 kB on the boot image.
This work was mostly done by Ingo during BeGeistert.

If anything is still broken (and was not before :)), please shout.
