Agreed. But, even with paging, some code has to be at a static address (eg, the code which initially sets up the paging). I suspect the pain of mapping files in CBFS to different virtual addresses is greater then the pain of having files in CBFS at static addresses. -Kevin -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
