I do agree that the userland is more important right now. That is becuase as the userland is ported I feel that momentum on the project will increase, and this will get more volunteers to help. I have been following this list for over a year now, and have seen several attempts to get this port going that have all run out of steam. I don't want this to happen again. This, and the fact that I have recently aquired a nice SS20 to work on (traded the 5 and 10), have really inspired me to roll up my sleeves and help out. As an aside: When I get boot2 code ready, will you be able to review it and or commit it? It is probably a bit early for this since I am working on figuring out how to write the image to the correct magic location on the boot drive, but I am curious as to how I can get my code into the CURRENT tree.
