Yes.
Is there any specification for OpenBIOS that defines the initial aims, features etc?
There a several goals....one of them ist providing a 32-bit bios, so that you won't need bootloaders for several Unice. You saw the wishlist, so now you know which features could be implement ;)
Is anyone guiding the development process?
I it should be Stefan Reinauer stepan@linux.de
I have written and ported BIOS code for industrial computers, but most of that source is over-weight and difficult to adapt - so I am interested in working on something that is more flexible, but I don't want to waste time on code that is only intended for getting a Linux box up and running.
Linux isn't the only unixlike 32-bit OS, OpenBIOS should support. I think it's not necessary to list all other free Unice that would profit of the programming of OpenBIOS.
