* Added support for symlinks.
* Prepared for other uses than just boot floppies (/CDs). We first try to
inflate the contents of the given device at offset 0 before using the
floppy disk offset. This will make it easy to mount tgz files loaded via
network or built into the boot loader itself.
* Increased the max possible size of inflated data to 32 MB.

The boot loader now has tarfs support needed for booting from CD-ROM.
It expects the zipped TAR at offset 192 kB on the boot image.
This work was mostly done by Ingo during BeGeistert.
