how soon do you think it will be before we can try this under linuxbios?
the only missing words that might be critical for operation are key?, alloc-mem, free-mem. We should be able to use the values from the LinuxBIOS table to initialize memory allocation. Can we assume memory being one linear chunk? A nice thing to have is package/properties support because that would allow us to write initialization drivers as packages, using the OO capabilities of Open Firmware instead of having one linear bunch of code that is executed for initialization. I started writing an fcode evaluator in Forth. The skeleton is working, but some words for flow control are missing. This will allow to execute FCode binaries instead of forth source code with paflof.
