 As far as I tested(kernel source 2.2.1 from samba and BootX 1.0.2b),
the kernel freezes within head.S before jumping to start_kernel. It seems
to completely freeze after the following instructions:

/*
 * Go back to running unmapped so we can load up new values
 * for SDR1 (hash table pointer) and the segment registers
 * and change to using our exception vectors.
 * On the 8xx, all we have to do is invalidate the TLB to clear
 * the old 8M byte TLB mappings and load the page table base register.
 */
#ifndef CONFIG_8xx
	lis	r6,_SDR1@ha
	lwz	r6,_SDR1@l(r6)
#else
	/* The right way to do this would be to track it down through
	 * init's TSS like the context switch code does, but this is
	 * easier......until someone changes init's static structures.
	 */
	lis	r6, swapper_pg_dir@h
	tophys(r6,r6,0)
	ori	r6, r6, swapper_pg_dir@l
	mtspr	M_TWB, r6
#endif
	lis	r4,2f@h
	ori	r4,r4,2f@l
	tophys(r4,r4,r3)
	li	r3,MSR_KERNEL & ~(MSR_IR|MSR_DR)
	mtspr	SRR0,r4
	mtspr	SRR1,r3
	rfi


Next, I looked into MacOS ROM file if there's a hint or somthing
and found an OF boot script:

</CHRP-BOOT>...MacOS icon bitmap and ELF header follows...

BlueG3's OF contains ELF loader package and is this the loading script?
Though I don't understand OF/Forth very well, this may be useful for
prom_init or somewhere.
 
Still can't reach the entry point. What should I do next?


Thanks in advance,
