No one has tried to code it. I don't if ofwboot would be too big after one adds the code for softraid and AES. We seem to load ofwboot at address 0x20000 and kernel at address 0x100000, which looks like plenty of space to me, but there might be another limit that I missed. > 2 i've looked at the softraid loader for sun ... since it also uses ofw ... > can we follow the general pattern of that code and properly implement > softraid booting on macppc? Maybe not: the way that softraid_sparc64.c searches for disklabels on disks might not make sense on macppc. --George > > i'm mostly interested in making FDE boot on macppc ... if it is technically > possible. > > rgc > -- George Koehler <kern...@gmail.com>
