Using bootfw.zip from a USB drive will only work for secure laptops, or unsecure laptops with the X key held down. This is coded in the firmware. Since you must use unsecure laptops, because of your customiser, this code is skipped.
Using bootfw.zip on internal storage will work in the same way, coded in the firmware. But in the case where the laptop is unsecure and the X key is not held down, the OLPC OS provided file int:\boot\olpc.fth triggers the process instead. So you could use your post-install customiser to copy the bootfw.zip file in /boot, and on next power cycle it will be reflashed. I advise, however, that you leave the file in u:\boot\bootfw.zip and hold down the X key on first boot, then hold down the four game keys on second boot. This will mean the firmware will upgrade first, while you are there and watching. If you have volunteers who can't cope with that precaution, continue with the four game key method. -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
