Talkware TIARA, an Openbios/GRUB/PFORTH composite, BIOS replacement.
and was wondering if anybody had heard of it?
I've heard of it. I plan to use some of their code for init purposes, I think.
It got me thinking that maybe all of the free bios developers (this project, freebios, openbios, linuxbios) should get together and collaborate on features. This way there would be more developers, which could mean accelerated development, better features, and more testing.
the thing is, linuxbios is not a bios in the sense of the others. our goal is to boot linux fast, and let it do the work. We don't care if you can't run dos.
I do think that openbios should be picking up on some of the freebios and other work. There is too much assembly in openbios for my taste.
