-This directory will contain the code necessary to compile and link the
-/boot program which is necessary to boot on the Sparc.  This program
-is real ugly and it knows too much.  It must be able to not only boot
-off of the root partition but also be able to netboot.  This means
-that it knows about RPC and NFS (bleech, yuck, eeewwwww!!) so that it
-can remote mount the root directory to fetch the kernel.  Also it must
-be able to ARP for its IP address and who its boot server is.  I
-think I'm getting sick.
-
-Regardless for now I will concentrate on the low-level stuff necessary
-to get the thing going.  This means the low-level entry code, etc.
-The prom knows how to get "us" if we have the proper boot blocks,
-actually the boot blocks live in our logical partition on a hard drive
-whereas over NFS this isn't applicable.  We have the boot blocks in
-our data area either way because we can be dual purpose.
-
-More will come....
-
-Hopefully I can write this such that it will work on almost all SUN
-machines in existence.  We'll see ;(
