Oh shoot. Eric, are you telling me that you don't ever put a Kernel into
the BIOS, and that it is always sent over the ethernet (I've been
wondering how you fit that all into a 512k flash)? That will make my
development a bit harder, but it makes more sense.
I guess more importantly, do you have the kernel version and any freebios
patches on your webpage. A working kernel tree/freebios tree dump would
be useful. My stuff isn't all in yet because of our credit card limit
(apparently somebody ordered a couple of cubic feet of hard drives) -- it
should get in at the start of the month. But I will have a video driver
for you. I suppose I may even need to write a keyboard driver, too.
