Hi !

Ok, I commited my changes to the bootloader, so that we now can begin to
start with the real kernel-work.

My changes in the bootloader are not very impressive, and you can
consider it as a big, bad hack,
but it does it´s job (and that is what counts !!). Later we can try to
optimize it...

You have to build your vmlinux on HP-UX (with make vmlinux) and then do
"make Image".
Then you will find the bootable image in /arch/parisc/hp/boot/Image.

The new bootloader reads SOM-Files and places them to their
Origin-Address, which was given in the arch/parisc/Makefile (currently
at 0x80000) and we do not need anymore to write the exec-orgin into the
boot-Image (because it will be done by the linker).

Currently the only problem I have is, that "make dep" doesn´t work with
my HP-UX-Machine, so I do "make dep" with my i386 and have the
Kernel-Tree (hosted on i386) connected via NFS from HP-UX. (Could maybe
someone take a look at this ?).
All compilations were done on HP-UX....

PS: You will see the kernel-banner, a spinng cursor and blinking LED´s,
really impressive :-)

Ok,
Thanks to you all !

Helge Deller.
