Paul (et al),
yes I played with this for about a day when a student bugged
me enough here in Reading, England. I first tried to get Milo
running and then fell back to David Mosberger-Tangs aboot which I
managed to get working. Basically, I had to unfix/refix some
fixups in bios32.c around level/edge sensitive interrupts. I've
still got the file on my development system. I also have a dd of
an aboot disk which worked. I've put both on gatekeeper in
~ftp/pub/Digital/Linux-Alpha/Miniloader/misc (note that they'll not
actually appear to the outside world until later tonight EST.
Given a system and some spare time I could probably get
Milo running now that I've fixed the aboot version (the problems were
related). However, I don't have time and I don't have a system
but if someone would like to port milo (I suggest using the ARC
bootable version) then I'll roll back any changes that are
required in Milo.
