@section MIPS machine state
When the boot loader invokes the operating system, the machine
must have the following state:
@table @samp
@item R4 (also known as A0)
Must contain the magic value @samp{0x36d76289}; the presence of this
value indicates to the operating system that it was loaded by a
Multiboot-compliant boot loader (e.g. as opposed to another type of
boot loader that the operating system can also be loaded from).
@item R5 (also known as A1)
Must contain the 32-bit physical address of the Multiboot
information structure provided by the boot loader (@pxref{Boot
information format}).
