Hi again,

I've managed to get my serial port working and tried to boot the kernel. 
Machine keeps restarting, just like other people in the archive said - a 
garbled screen for a while and restart into WinCE. But I made a simple 
test.

1. Made a small, dummy, hang-me program.
[gophi@gofbsd ~]$ cat dummy.c
main() { for (;;); }

2. Compiled it and gzipped.
[gophi@gofbsd ~]$ shle--netbsdelf-gcc -c dummy.c
[gophi@gofbsd ~]$ shle--netbsdelf-ld -static -e main -S -o dummy dummy.o
[gophi@gofbsd ~]$ gzip < dummy > dummy.gz

3. Booted dummy.gz with hpcboot200.

And the PC still restarts. There are two conclusions:

1. I've compiled the program the wrong way (quite possible, unfortunately 
I have no experience in cross-compiling at all, that's the reason I've 
pasted the compilation commands above).

2. There's a problem in hpcboot.

What do you think?
