Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: owner-freebsd-small@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi! I'm thinking of starting a free BIOS project that will result in some form of firmware or something simular. You may think "why create a new project, when there's already one (OpenBIOS)". There's one reason: I don't like thier projekt. To much doing nothing. Some requirments: * It should fit into a 256KB EPROM * Should be able to boot kernels from hd or net * Uses both serial and normal console. * Compatible with standard chipsets.
