Hi all,
With the previous commit, I seem to be getting to the point where files are now being read from the ISO into memory. However, on Milax things are still failing because the Fcode tries to set up a callback function repeated every second using the "alarm" word.
I believe either the console or serial driver will do that, and possibly the secondary bootstrapper to cycle the -/| twirly baton.
Does SPARC64 have a way of counting elapsed time (some kind of clock tick register) so that it would be possible to measure this in the main loop?
Yup. It's usually available through "stick@" - I believe it counts nanoseconds.
Sorry I wasn't able to review your stuff, which looked reasonably correct, but I'm on vacation at the moment.
