Create wiki page documenting the kernel boot sequence #479

@LSantha

Description

@LSantha

I want a new wiki page under .wiki/ titled Boot-Sequence.md that documents the kernel boot sequence end-to-end:

  1. BIOS POST
  2. Bootloader hands off to JNode's GRUB stage
  3. GRUB loads jnode-x86-lite.iso
  4. The ISO's isolinux loads the kernel
  5. Kernel decompression
  6. start32 in core/src/native/x86/start32.asm runs in protected mode
  7. vm.asm sets up the VM and starts interpreting Java

The page should link to the source files at each step and explain what the kernel is doing. It should be readable by someone new to the project.

Use the update-wiki skill — don't try to write the page from scratch.
