I'm working on narrowing down the problem with the loader and I came
across something in the source. When I built it, I noticed that there
was a loader.exe file built in: src/sys/boot/arc/loader/loader.exe
file loader.exe
loader.exe: MS Windows COFF Alpha object file
It's a windows file...
This strikes me odd. Does this mean that FreeBSD can be booted using
AlphaBIOS (which incidentally supports the Adaptec SCSI card that the
non-boot disks are on)?
