gollark: My Alpine-running system is upgrading impressively speedily.
gollark: *is suddenly reminded to run updates*
gollark: <@!202992030685724675> Basically, the *rest* of the BIOS either finds the HDD saved in the EEPROM's memory (`computer.setBootAddress`/`getBootAddress` as defined elsewhere in it), or, if it's invalid or there is no boot address set for it, checks all connected disks.
gollark: I could add some fun "potatOS system dump" mode, yes.
gollark: Ah, of course.
