ELKS disk images updated

I have taken the liberty of updating the ELKS disk images to include the 
shiny new 0.1.4 kernel. I have also noticed many very strange bugs 
leading to infinite loops or locking myself out of the system (at least 
in QEMU). These can be fixed down the road. I am also going to try to 
disassemble the MINIX boot files at some point, since the only boot 
loader source we have is the bootsect.S in the kernel tree, which is 
useless if you want to load from a filesystem and not just dump the 
kernel straight to the disk. Also, note that the floppy signature for 
larger disk images is not present, so for QEMU in particular, you must 
specify the -no-fd-bootchk option. Once I disassemble the boot code 
(don't have time to do it right now), I'll fix this problem as well.

Anyway, have a look at the disk images:
