Basic ISO Boot to Command Prompt

[Chris Rothrock]

Norman,

It seems you were right about the hardware - the laptop I was using for my
testing can load the demo from within the hardware linux install through
the qemu emulator but that laptop fails to load the framebuffer directly.
On another machine, I can successfully launch the ISO as a hardware boot as
well as a VirtualBox boot.  This now being successful, my next step is to
get TinyCore running within VirtualBox on a Genode build (a hardware boot,
not within QEMU or a VM).  This part seems more problematic since I can get
the ISO to boot but upon loading the TinyCore linux within VirtualBox
inside Genode it hangs at "Loading Kernel".  From what I understand this
should produce a successfully loaded OS running inside the Genode
environment.
