So, is anybody still using loader.kboot? It looks like most people use
petiboot directly and that support for powerpc is no longer needed. I'd
like to drop it. I've never once tested it with my new loader.kboot,
despite getting a PS/3 and trying to get FreeBSD booting on it (long story
that I ran out of time with before I was successful). I've had reports from
others they are just using petiboot (maybe a slightly patched one) since it
works.

Comments?

Warner
