QEMU OpenBIOS booting?
by Steven Noonan
Hi folks,
I've been trying to use OpenBIOS with QEMU, and I've had trouble
getting it to boot any PowerPC-based OS discs (Linux, Mac OS X, etc).
OpenBIOS just doesn't seem to find anything bootable. If I try booting
QEMU with -nographic, I get this output (I get the same with a
self-built openbios-qemu.elf from the OpenBIOS SVN as well):

Laurent Vivier suggested in this conversation in February
(http://lists.openbios.org/pipermail/openbios/2009-February/003476.html)
that there could be a bug in partition map decoding. Has such a bug
been confirmed? I was trying to find the bug myself (I am an
experienced C/C++ programmer), but the bug seems to be subtle, and my
lack of familiarity with the code base doesn't help much.
I've been trying to figure this out for 7 hours straight now... Any
advice or other help would be much appreciated!

[PATCH] sparc64: clear unused registers when calling client image
by Igor Kovalenko
This change seems to fix the problem here with silo not being able
to deal with bss data. The problem is that silo does access to an address
which is calculated from %i3 + bss offset, so %i3 must be somehow initialized.
To do this I created start_client_image() helper which initializes
clear context,
fills it with stack pointer and client interface handler pointer then
switches to it.
According to docs all registers not used to convey data to client code must be
cleared.
Since my sparc64-elf-gcc cross compiler managed to discard stores
to __context in switch_to() I had to make __context a volatile pointer.

PATH: Fix b(field) Fcode evaluation
by Mark Cave-Ayland
Hi everyone,
This patch fixes the Fcode evaluation of b(field) which was implemented
incorrectly. With this patch applied, corruption seen in several of the
package words for Milax/Martux has now disappeared. Included below are
the Fcode test cases I used (courtesy of Milax):
\ Test Fcode struct...field...constant (no headers)
\ Forth: struct /x field >filesize /x field >offset /x field >block0
constant /file-record 0 >offset .

PATCH: Fix b(case)...b(of)...b(endof)...b(endcase)
by Mark Cave-Ayland
Hi everyone,
It seems that b(case)...b(of)...b(endof)...b(endcase) was broken in
exactly the same way as the b(do)...b(loop) commands during Fcode
evaluation. This patch fixes this, which now allows the Martux/Milax
CDROM images to fail gracefully rather than segfaulting:

PATCH: Implement push-package/pop-package
by Mark Cave-Ayland
Hi everyone,
This patch implements the missing push-package/pop-package words which
seem to be included in various Fcode bootloaders (even though they are
not part of the official spec). With this patch applied, I now get the
following on my Solaris image/Qemu boot:

So it looks as if we're now at the point where we need to start
implementing the client interface claim/release functions.
