if there is enough space, the root floppy is VERY tight as it is. it would probably be better to integrate nvsetenv into busybox to save the overhead of a fully linked executable. i think it does belong there, perhaps for woody where we will hopefully be able to map /dev nodes to OF devices. > I'd still really like to build a floppy that can OF boot. Does anyone > know why this doesn't work? you mean a non-miboot floppy? i think you can do that by putting a COFF format kernel on a floppy and doing a boot fd: or something. im not sure i don't have an oldworld mac to tinker with, and newworlds have an annoying lack of a floppy.. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
