The > information should be in the manual. Ah, he was asking about the discussion concerning miboot. Well, i could use google or the mailing list archive to find out and give him nice urls or something, but he can do so as well himself, especially as i don't have time for such a hunt myself. > That said, the powerpc version of the manual is in terrible shape and > desperately needs editing and bringing up-to-date.
