yes. Because you have a board, and a new (e.g.) boot block, which you have been sent via email from a company that is supporting your platform, and can not for whatever reason recreate the payload. You may have even lost the source to it.

With the current setup, one can not mkdir xyz cd xyz lar -x /tmp/file.lar lar -c /tmp/file2.lar * because the lar -x loses all the lar headers. This is not a huge concern to me, but the concern has been raised, it is not unrealistic, so it might be worth while to support it :-) ron -- coreboot mailing list [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
