Since Apple OF doesn't seem to like OF_open() very much, I'm adding
support for kernels embedded in the XCOFF file. It's almost ready - one
PMac specific bug left, I think. It default catches when reading the
xcoff headers, after "Beginning image search."
If anyone wants to offer opinions, there are:
http://www.drow.net/netbsd/ofwboot (or .tar.gz) [the original]
http://www.drow.net/netbsd/ofwmac (or .tar.gz) [the new]
http://www.drow.net/netbsd/linux_arch_ppc (or .tar.gz)
[the linux/ppc working one, see in coffboot/]
The only difference I see between mine and linuxppc's is i do not map
8MB of ram to 0xC0000000, but I do not think that is necessary at this
stage in the boot. Ideas?
Please send any comments/suggestions/bugfixes/flames/etc.
