As people may have noticed, I've recently committed a new bootloader for
NetBSD/arm26. This one is written in C, compiles under NetBSD, and shares
a lot of code with all NetBSD's other bootloaders. At the moment, the
only user-visible improvement over BBBB is the ability to load gzipped
kernels.
There's a binary of the new loader at
<URL:ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/arm26/testing/boot26,ff8>. As
the name suggests, it should be give file type FF8 (Absolute) on a RISC OS
system.
