more modular and robust are always appreciated.
You might want to start by getting linuxbios booting a linux
kernel on the 755. This shouldn't be too difficult, as the 755 appears
to us
Yes, and the nice thing about the linuxbios architecture is that the
CLI can just be a payload, so you can have any CLI that you want -
forth, tcl, whatever. No changes are required to linuxbios at all.

Actually there was some other stuff that was PPC dependent. Hopefully

Just thought you might like to know that I booted a linux kernel
using linuxbios on a PPC yesterday. There are still a few issues to
sort out, but it's looking very promising.
For those that are attending USENIX next week, I'll have the machine
at the BOF so you can see it really works!
Cheers
Other people probably know much more about this than me, but here's
my experience.
There seem to be two main parts to linuxbios. The first is
arch/{arch}/config/ctr0.base which does the very low level
initialization, like turning on memory, etc. The second is
arch/{arch}/lib/c_start.S which do
