Hi,

I'm in the process of writing code in the i386 bootstrap program so that we can
have a boot configuration file dictate how the machine is booted.

I'm wanting to use proplib for the configuration file and wrote the code
to handle this, only to find that the secondary bootstrap program hangs after
a call to prop_dictionary_internalize().

Should proplib be able to work this early in the boot process?

thanks,
