[Fwd: Re: [linuxdc-dev] LinuxBIOS]

[Michael R. <mro...@fu...>]

The majority is C, only about 20 lines or so of ASM. They haven't done

any work on SuperH, I think the only architecture its been programmed 
for is x86.  You can check out their website at http://www.linuxbios.com 
although it's pretty vague, you kind of have to talk to them to get the 
gist of it.  NetBSD/Dreamcast also boots their NetBSD version from an 
Ethernet source but their loader is on a disc, if we implement LinuxBIOS 
you will never need a disc.  No more playing around with getting it 
booted and reburning with every revision.  This would be a definite 
bonus, I'll check out the source code...
