Hi, all ,
I meet a comment in /arch/ppc/kernel/head.S,
which is "We have to do any OF calls before we map ourselves to KERNELBASE
".
What does the 'OF' mean in this comment?
Thanks a lot .

BRs
Rolf

	OF = Open Firmware, the environment in which the operating system
boot program runs before the operating system itself takes control of the
system.
