- (rev 335)␊

Change: merged the educational side of arch=i386 + the practical one of -x32, into a simple 32␊

Change: added -legacy kernel flag. This flag tells the booter to load i386 arch before is passed to␊
␉␉the kernel. This procedure only needs to be done on Snow Leopard. -legacy tells the kernel␊
␉␉to disable "64 Bit Mode", which allows 64 bit processors to run 64 bit apps under i386␊

␉␉Type -legacy to get you booted into Legacy Mode.␊
␊
Note: only useful on 64 bit processors.␊
␊
Note: this flag is not really needed; typing "32 -legacy" (no "") does the trick. It's just handy!␊
␊
Note: just out of curiosity and for those who don't know, Legacy Mode is in fact the mode used␊
␉␉by 32 bit "only" processors! Since OS X kernel can handle 64 bit apps even on i386 arch,␊
␉␉64 bit processors need this flag to disable any handling of 64 bit instructions, when␊

- (rev 335) (REVERTED to trunk way, rev 520)␊
Change: added 64 bit booter flag, to keep company to the 32 one :)␊

Motif: mainly to override 32 or -legacy if they are flagged on the Boot.plist.␊
