Sorry about the delay, I just checked my email.

I don't believe there is anything that should be automatically handled 
by the boot process - when you load /boot-archive, the fcode loaded 
should itself at the end invoke whatever execution method is required. 
My recollection is that boot-archive proceeds to load an ELF file and 
then jumps to that - I can verify that on monday.

Have we verified that OpenBios can jump to a SPARC ELF file?
