Great - both the changes and the blog post!
Can you please arrange for binary builds to be generated?

Does it support the LBA 33-bit?

Can you mention if some other features from lDOS, RxDOS, DR-DOS 7.03/8.x are not yet supported?

From your blog post I understand that December 2023 kernel can be booted from boot sectors of lDOS / RxDOS.3, FreeDOS, Enhanced DR-DOS, MS-DOS v6 / IBM-DOS, MS-DOS v7, Multiboot v1, Multiboot v2, NTLDR, BOOTMGR, or DOS-C IPL.SYS.

What about:
- booting from bootsectors of other DR-DOS (3.31-7.05), PC DOS 7.10
- boot sector that allows booting EDR-DOS, FreeDOS, PC DOS, MS-DOS v6, MS-DOS v7/8, DR-DOS
- boot sector that allows booting from GPT
- using COMMAND.COM from another DOS as main SHELL with the December 2023 kernel? (e.g. how much of these and these are implemented?) - the opposite question of this one.
