Except that the boot program needs to read an ECOFF image off the disk in the ARC console (based on comments of others plus my experience with ARC BIOS mips machines). So some way of generating these ECOFF files must exist. Fortunately, the elf2ecoff that was written for and used by the NetBSD/pmax project, so it shouldn't be too hard to convert (assuming that the binutils obj-copy doesn't do the job already). We'll also need a working FAT file system since the ARC console only groks FAT file systems (or iso9660). Warner
