v0.0.6

Migrated file system storage from RAMDisk to physical disk (IDE)

The file system now uses persistent storage on the physical disk instead of RAM:

• Files are saved directly to the hard drive
• Data persists across reboots — all files and directories are automatically restored from disk

How it works

The kernel uses a separate physical disk for storage (not an ISO image).

Setup Instructions

For Virtual Machines (QEMU, VirtualBox, VMware, etc.):

1. Create a new virtual disk
2. Attach it to the VM as an IDE device at Primary IDE Master (IDE 0) — this is required for the kernel to detect it (temporary limitation)
3. Boot the kernel

For Real Hardware:

1. Ensure your target disk is configured as Primary IDE Master (IDE 0)
2. Boot the kernel

First Boot Notice

⚠️ First boot will take longer than usual — the kernel will automatically format the disk and copy all necessary files to it. Subsequent boots will be faster as this initialization only happens once.
