I've looked into that a while ago, but the bootblocks are very depending
on several NetBSD kernel libraries (for stand-alone operation), and
they have only ffs filesystem code, not ext2fs.
We seem to have some options:
- Porting NetBSD bootblocks:
+ porting standalone libs to linux/mips
+ changing ufs code to ext2fs
- Porting silo (Sparc two-stage loader)
+ changing sparc assembler code to mips
+ changing sun prom calls to decstation prom calls.
What would be easier?
Regards,
Karel.
