Hi there,

I've been using gcc under NetBSD on my shark to boot my own 
bootloader/scheduler for research purposes. I understand that the firmware 
expects an aout format binary. I got tired of rebooting into NetBSD all the 
time, so decided to build arm-aout gcc (et al) on my Linux workstation. 
Anyway, the sharks seem to not want to digest this new image - on netboot it 
starts the spinning cursor, and then just stops:

Send a line break to stop the booting process.
Boot device: /isa/ethernet  Arguments: 
-

The same code compiles and links with the same options under NetBSD, and works 
fine. Is there some magic in the NetBSD/gcc setup that I need to be aware of?

Sorry for the off topicness of this posting. If enough people care, I'm 
willing to setup a Shark specific mailing list and host it.

Cheers,
