An Open Firmware image for OLPC is available for testing. See
http://firmworks.com/linux/OFWtest.html for complete instructions.
The OFW image goes on a USB key along with a regular OLPC Linux build
and LinuxBIOS boots OFW instead of Linux. You can then boot Linux from
inside OFW. (OFW can also be configured as a LinuxBIOS payload that
lives in the boot FLASH, but this version is set up to boot from a USB
key so you can try it out without the risk of reprogramming your boot
FLASH).
This is a complete Open Firmware implementation with all the trimmings,
but only the essential OLPC devices are supported in this first
release. Support for a lot more devices is coming soon; see the
instructions page for details.
