The problem is currently OpenBIOS won't work on a bare metal, since it's tightly coupled with qemu. So, PROM size at this point is a purely academical question.
Gotcha. I thought there was some ability to run on bare metal, in which case prom limitations might have had meaning.
So, basically, if OpenBIOS has to support FCode "dropin" images, it must support the compression type (s?) used in OBP?
Only if you want to "borrow" dropins from an existing Openboot image. It's straight "/usr/bin/compress" used to compress them. I mentioned it only to let you know that we did have to resort to such methods to fit our proms :-)
