[Etherboot-developers] Porting Etherboot to MIPS

[Bob V. G. <rva...@na...>]

Greetings...

I am in the position where I need to use bootp to load a Linux kernel =
onto a diskless embedded system with a MIPS processor.  There seems to =
only be 2 main tools to do this: Etherboot and Netboot.  However, both =
only support the x86 architecture.  Since use of this type of tool is =
imperative to my project, I have decided to port Etherboot over to the =
MIPS architecture.  I have my own MIPS specific boot loader.  I am =
hoping that the boot loader is the only part of Etherboot that is x86 =
specific.  Is there any reason that I should not attempt to port this =
over to MIPS?

Thanks,
Bob
