I'll grant that. Howver.. either way the changes to mkbootimage will be needed. Even if we change it to eventually accept a second stage bootloader as an argument, it will still need to know how to read and write back the partition table. Fixing mkbootimage will get us halfway at least. I guess figuring out if a second stage bootloader is possible, and writing one should probably go on the TODO though. --- Tim Rightnour <[email protected]> NetBSD: Free multi-architecture OS http://www.netbsd.org/ Genecys: Open Source 3D MMORPG: http://www.genecys.org/
