Hello,
Thank you for your reply. Thus, all I need for OF 3.0 to load my
``kernel'' is just a statically-linked ELF file, with proper
endianness, and a _start symbol? Does anyone know how well OF 3.0
deals with different endianness if at all?
Thanks again for the information and have a great day.

understand that OF 3.0 groks ELF, but the ELF file should contain
some special information in the note section (and have the PT_NOTE
thing). This special information entails the values for load-base and
real-base (among other things) that are to be used. Here is where I
become confused.
Noone except IBM CHRP cares about the PT_NOTE.
Proof: yaboot doesnt have one, and yaboot works fine for everyone.
