yeah but why do it this way. With the openbios guys, we've ended up splitting the work: linuxbios does the cruft, openbios does the forth stuff. IF uboot wants that command interpreter, why not combine forces and make the CLI a payload, and linuxbios sucks in all that good u-boot cpu stuff.
seems like we'd get twice as far.
