Hi

The patch is kinda large so I won't send it to the list, unless
it's ok? It is about 73k.

The patch does:
- Add initrd support (arcboot.conf: initrd=/ramdisk.gz)
- Add interactive/shell mode
  - Load kernel
  - Load ramdisk
  - Edit kernel cmdline arguments
  - ls
  - help for list of commands
- Add working iso9660 support
- Unfinished romfs support
- It's probably a mess
- Probably has many bugs here and there
- To start interactive mode boot with -i as parameter:
  "arcboot -i"
- Tested on IP32 only (and patch changes default to IP32 :)

http://home.tal.org/~milang/o2/patches/arcboot_onion_iso_shell_initrd-1.patch

A binary for IP32 is also available:
http://home.tal.org/~milang/o2/patches/arcboot-patched-1.ip32

Enjoy!
