Building a working 32bits binary could be another task, to make it easier to build from 32bits userspace - I think OF can boot from 32bits code, and I don't think 64bits are needed. > - My (admittedly somewhat hazy) understanding of how an Ultrasparc > machine boots from disk (any IEEE1275 machine?) is that it reads the > first sector on the given partition as OF bytecode, which then loads up > a secondary bootloader or kernel. I think you're right. But I haven't had time to try this (problems booting from floppy, problems writing an OF-valid partition table to a disk...). > I apologize for the list-wide reply, but I figured that if Vincent is > unavailable, perhaps someone else could help me.
