rustboot64

A tiny 64-bit "kernel" written in Rust.

I was inspired to download Rust and try to do this after seeing rustboot which was limited to 32-bit operation on a single CPU.

rustboot64 makes use of Pure64 to get the system into 64-bit mode, gather required details for operations, as well as enabling all available CPU cores.

At the moment, it paints the screen bright blue and then hangs. That's it:
