If you are not using BootX, then you can grab code that make prom_print available the same way it does with BootX, but with OF. (Basically, it fills a fake boot_info structure for use by the display code from infos returned by OF). The code for that is in my iBook patches, look at the prom.c patches. In both case, you have to take care of mapping the fb. ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
