OpenFirmware, Booting and OS Development
Hi Folks, This isn't strictly Darwin kernel development, and if anyone complains I will take it off list. I am trying to write a simple bootsector that displays the phrase "Loading..." to the screen - much like the many, many x86 examples that can be found on the internet, but this time I want to do it on a mac. I have read all the information I can on OpenFirmware I understand that the OpenFirmware is basically the first stage in the boot process, this will then load software that is at the "real-base" address, and then this can b I am making it slightly harder for myself because I want to target old world Mac's first (as thats what I have), I understand that NewWorld Mac's can just boot straight to an elf kernel. Am I right in the above assumptions? How do I get my bootsector into the "real-base"? Can anyone help "fill" the gaps in my knowledge?
