Hiya All,

you might have thought that the Acorn32 port was sleeping a lot ... well to 
be honest it was for some time :-/ until i got some more time and 
inspiration to work on things.... 

I've created yet another new bootloader from scratch called `boot32' wich 
can boot NetBSD-1.6 ELF kernel images. Please report problems to this list 
or to me when things fail.... It consists of just one file called 
`boot32,ffa' (i.e. a RISC OS module) that can be RMRun or can be called 
using *boot32. Its syntax (not in the module yet :-/ sorry) is :

  *boot32 [-a] [kernelname [parameters]]

It can load both normal kernels as gzipped kernels wich is a relief for
some i know :-) esp. the installation of new NetBSD/acorn32 systems will
most likely be much simplified by this move.

Also the FAQ has been made up to date and i've added a section about NC 
booting since this is trivial but has a steep learning curve i've you've 
never done it before.

On the TODO list is now : being able to load mode definition files (MDFs) 
into a running kernel and to allow swiching screenmodes !

Cheers,
Reinoud Zandijk,
portmaster NetBSD/acorn32
