Description

This is just a little patch to remove a goto from the main.cpp of the boot loader. I made this because:

  1. coding guidelines
  2. goto is evil

While goto should be avoided generally, using goto to bail out like this, and do proper cleanup is perfectly fine IMO, and it's actually easier to follow than your code. Thanks for your patch, anyway, though!

Just look at src/system/kernel/fs/vfs.cpp if you want to shudder a bit more :-)
