Things aren't looking to good on the Boot front. Just tried booting
2.0C (built from 4-11 sources) on three different PPC Macs. This uses
V1.9 of ofwboot.xcf using:
0> boot cd:,ofwboot.xcf netbsd.macppc
B&W G3: PowerMac1,1 1.1f4 BootROM
Gets a DEFAULT CATCH 900
eMac: PowerMac4,4 4.4.2a3 BootROM
Gets a DEFAULT CATCH 300
PowerBook (12" 867 Mhz) PowerMac6,1 4.5.5f4 BootROM
Gets a Decrementer exception
Also tried an older CD with V1.2 of ofwboot.xcf:
Boots on the B&W G3
Gets Decrementer exception on the PowerBook
Didn't try on the eMac
Is this version of ofwboot working for others on similar machines? Are
there other new tricks that folks have starting using which I missed?
Thanks,
