The major differences that you'll notice between this version and
the last is that it now does not initialise devices until after you have
chosen to boot or to list the files on a device. That is, until you actually
need to use the devices. The really big difference is that it now contains
David Mosberger-Tang's bios emulation code which opens up a whole range of
PCI video devices (thanks David). The example images and flash update programs
for this contain the phrase ".bios" someplace. The images without bios are
just called "mini.dd" and so on, as before.
I'm not planning to produce a new version for a while but I will
make bug fixes and little enhancements as and when neccessary. This version
still does not include loading via WNT ARC, but it's coming.
Thankyou and good luck.
Dave
