No. I talked this over with David O'Brien and decided that I don't want to scare OpenFirmware too much. =) I already have issues where if I get page mapping wrong OpenFirmware goes permanently south, so since there are a number of things that are reliant on OpenFirmware being operational I don't really want to tempt fate and try and make it operate in little-endian mode. -- Benno Rice benno@FreeBSD.org [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (FreeBSD) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAjslYuAACgkQbQx7xhW+Eg4a2QCeInxr+gialT/nLB4SwCbK/j6P KNwAoJBMG2cD88qweZky3IjcbHpgd3Ri =5OoV -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----home | help
