Re: [Etherboot-developers] Porting report

[Yannis M. <gm...@te...>]

Hi Eric,

I was a little bit occupied with the porting of the Linux kernel so I 
didn't have much time to spend to the porting of the etherboot.
Currently, having modified the a.out loader the COFF file format works 
fine.

I have started studying the ELF format to write a "correct" COFF loader 
(the COFF format has many similarities to the ELF).

All this work is performed in the 5.0.8 version. When, I finished with 
the COFF loader, I will move on to the 5.1.x to synchronize with the 
current distribution. Of course some other minor open points should be 
also closed prior to the release.
