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! -- Kaj-Michael Lang , milang@tal.org
