Ooops, I made a slight typo when I said ./buildcross dc -k, I should
have written ./buildcross.sh dreamcast -k
-dc -k most likely built kos&kos-ports then rebuilt kos&kos-ports. Not
a huge deal besides taking a bit more time. :)

If you have a BBA dcload-ip is absolutely the way to go. It's not
exactly the easiest thing to build because it requires that libbdf
from sh-elf be installed and then you have to edit the Makefile.cfg
for dcload to point to the installed location of that lib/include. The
other thing that might be useful for you to change in the Makefile.cfg
is the IP of the Dreamcast.

There is one other BBA loader that I can think of off the top of my
head, but AFAIK it's totally unmaintained (not to mention dcload is
much more robust in comparison.) Anyways the loader I'm thinking of is
IP upload slave (http://mc.pp.se/dc/ipslave.html) which was one of the
first Dreamcast BBA loaders.

Attached is a Makefile.cfg that worked for me on a Linux machine that
I used buildcross with. You'll probably still need to edit it a bit,
but it should be much closer to what you need.
