+On the x86 platform, the Linux kernel uses a rather complicated boot
 convention.  This has evolved partially due to historical aspects, as
 well as the desire in the early days to have the kernel itself be a
 bootable image, the complicated PC memory model and due to changed
 expectations in the PC industry caused by the effective demise of
 real-mode DOS as a mainstream operating system.
