# 276688 05-Jan-2015 nwhitehorn

Add kexec-based Linux shim loader for use with the firmware petitboot
loader on PS3 and POWER8 systems. This is reasonably portable to other
architectures, especially FDT-based ones, if similar features are useful
elsewhere.

Netboot support is missing for now and will be added in a future commit,
at which time loader.ps3 will be garbage collected.

Done at: Hackathon


# 217044 06-Jan-2011 nwhitehorn

Import support for the Sony Playstation 3 using the OtherOS feature
available on firmwares 3.15 and earlier.

Caveats: Support for the internal SATA controller is currently missing,
as is support for framebuffer resolutions other than 720x480. These
deficiencies will be remedied soon.

Special thanks to Peter Grehan for providing the hardware that made this
port possible, and thanks to Geoff Levand of Sony Computer Entertainment
for advice on the LV1 hypervisor.


# 183863 14-Oct-2008 nwhitehorn

Add a simple HFS boot block implementation for booting PowerPC macs. It creates
a small HFS filesystem with a CHRP boot script and an early-stage bootloader
derived from the sparc64 boot block.

Obtained from: sparc64


# 176490 23-Feb-2008 marcel

o Build and install the U-Boot loader as ubldr.
o Don't build/install the manual pages or configuration
files that are already installed by the OFW loader.
o Hook the U-Boot loader to the build.


# 174723 17-Dec-2007 marcel

Build the OFW loader from its new location after the sources
were repocopied from ./loader to ./ofw.


# 67204 16-Oct-2000 obrien

"Ok, my loader's now up to putting up a prompt. It probes disks partially
but can't boot from them yet."

Thanks to Stephane Potvin for the some of the code in this set.
