ulos2-beta.4

Nearly seven months after the last beta, this release brings support for unmanaged filesystems (currently just SimpleFS) and partitioning (OSDI, MTPT) along with a plethora of other, smaller, tweaks and changes.

To install this release, run pastebin run tkhgk4AJ beta.4 from OpenOS. If running an beta 2 or newer you can simply run uptu. Release beta.5 contains changes to file permission semantics that will break existing installations. Do not use older installer images.
