[Etherboot-developers] Alignment Question

[Timothy L. <tl...@ro...>]

Hi

I am looking at a doc that says:

Align the list to the nearest octet (byte) boundary.

I am assuming that octet is eight bits or one byte.  Is that correct?
If so, is any thing special necessary.  That is, do I need 

__attribute__ ((aligned(1)))?
