Quite easy if we stick to the header signature. > - follow through and make sure it properly boots an ELF image (right now > it only gets it into memory) I think there are 2 ways : -write your own Forth ELF relocating code (might be fun, but beside that...) -have the "init-program" command do this work for you, which require you to load the image where "boot net" loads it (or maybe other commands, but for now I only know about boot net as it is the only way to currently boot grub2 on sparc64 ;) ). > - verify that the code works on PPC, and if not, try to make it work so > that there's a unified bootblock [not sure if this is reasonable as I'm > not as familiar with how PPC OF boots... how similiar is it to Sparc?] I think this one can't be done without making the FCode grow quite big. > - same for sparc32 I would be interested if the port could be unified in 32bits. For now I built it 64bits - don't ask why :) - but if a 32bits build can work both on sparc32 and sparc64, I think it would be great for maintenance. Vincent Pelletier
