Yeah, apparently it's cheaper to bootstrap a complete new little endian
platform than to fix portability issues in existing software...

I guess it's about the crash on non-Mac when passing debug=serial.

For whatever definition of small. I've seen it consuming 1 GiB of memory...

There's also no Amigaos cross-gcc in Debian.

I think you can consider it the equivalent of a system call, i.e. normal usage
of the OS API.

It's statically linked (and libnix is public domain, according to Google :-).

No, you don't have to link to anything to make AmigaOS calls. All you need to
know is that address 4 stores a pointer to exec.libary.

Amiboot is not linked to parts of AmigaOS. It is linked to libnix.

tftpboot.img on UDB
Hi,
I tried to boot the potato tftpboot.img on my DEC UDB using the SRM console.
BOOTP works, TFTP works, but after the image is started, my UDB resets and I
end up in the SRM console again. The last 2 lines I see before the reboot are
about OSF PAL-code and initrd. I didn't pass any kernel arguments (plain `boot
ewa0').
Is this a known problem? Thx!
