[eros-arch] More build troubles

[Ryan Brown]

I tried looking in the capidl source.  The only thing that looked 
promising was the line SYMCLASS("structure", struct, 1) line in 
symclass.def, but I didn't try changing that because I don't know if it 
could mess things up.

I did, however, get everything to build by manually editing the .h 
files and running make install instead of just make.  Now I'm wondering 
how to boot it.  After reading the docs and mailing lists, it looks 
like I need a vmfloppy file.  I tried doing "make vmware" in both 
src/base/demo and src/tutorials/hello-small.  It gave some errors 
because I don't really have vmware, but I tried booting the vmfloppy 
file in bochs, and bochs rebooted then complained about an error in 
rombios.  Do I need to use a special version of bochs or something?
