Re: multiboot for PowerPC

[Andrei E. Warkentin]

I just stalk this mailing list, but I think it'd be great to turn the Multiboot specification less PC BIOS-centric. The Multiboot spec exposes various legacy structures for the x86 PC. How do you intend to work in platform specifics? Just expose the OF interface, or clone the device tree? What about non-OF systems?

Slightly OT, but has any work been done to make Multiboot ia32/x64 EFI-friendly?

For Xen development, I need multiboot for PowerPC. In a week or so, I

will be starting this work based on Okuji-san's wiki page at

I just wanted to let people know in case anybody has some additional

comments about it. (I haven't read the page fully yet myself.)
