I haven't compared the two versions actually.  I know that 0.0.2 has
some interrupt setup code.

Very cool.  It shouldn't be too hard to hook network booting into
OpenBIOS either, if you wanted to go in that direction.

Please do.  I can look over what you guys have now and figure out how to
best integrate it into the current codebase.  When your code is more
finalized, it will take less time to integrate it into OpenBIOS.

(I'm collecting patches to OpenBIOS 0.0.2, as I noted in another message
to the list)
