Before that i used a powerbook and remember that the boot loader was http://mac.linux.be/content/yaboot -- LF

Posting video cards usually require running x86 ROMs. This doesn't work to well when people plug x86 video cards into ia64 and ppc machines. People do this because the x86 versions are half the price of the OpenFirmware ones. Even x86 machines need to run the ROMs for secondary cards. I'm in the process of modifying fbdev to use hotplug events to run these ROMs. What about including emu86 support in non-x86 builds and vm86 on x86 in klibc? The linux BIOS people have a 40K version of emu86 available. Right no...

Hi, OLPC's Openfirmware (OFW) implementation chokes when attempting to boot an iso created by isohybrid. The problem is that OFW's ISO-9660 support expects a partition type of 0x96 (CHRP ISO-9660, according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_type). I see from http://git.kernel.org/cgit/boot/syslinux/syslinux....

...for helping me get my 7043-150 doing something useful! Sincerely, Richard PS: Has anyone tried running other Linux distros? I did not have any luck booting the latest Debian (debian-31r0a-powerpc-binary-1.iso) or NetBSD (2.0.2, prepcd.iso) on this system, but maybe I wasn't using the right OpenFirmware commands.

...EMU (or whatever), put in your magic developing stuff, and try to flash the BIOS. Of course you want to make sure you're running on an emulated processor, not your real one. QEMU does have a -bios option to "set the filename for the BIOS", and it looks like that's how the folks at openfirmware are trying things out, though I don't know if QEMU supports _writing_ back to the file. Cheers, Jake

I presume it uses UEFI, but not sure how to answer that. Oh, an apple device. AFAIK the openfirmware of such hardware have also a legacy mode.
