I intended to use OpenBIOS but it's really far from being able to boot a
PPC machine.
And it doesn't intend to support "conventional" boot for PREP, which I
need.
As I did most of the BIOS code last year when I made my first atempts to
run Linux for the PREP emulation, it was really easier to me to add the
missing code (mostly hw stuffs) and fix the bugs than start the port of
OpenBIOS to PPC target.
OpenBIOS is the right long term solution, but I need something right
now, so I reuse and improve the code I have.
Some of this code (ie PREP boot or some PPC device drivers) may become
useful for OpenBIOS too...
