Sounds interesting.  How big is it?  And are you planning to make
this the program that boots from the monitor, and then it reads the
kernel, or do you envision this going in the EPROM?  It seems that
booting would be friendlier if it were in EPROM, (but not a WHOLE lot
if done correctly) on the other hand, I forsee a BSD system "coming
soon to a pc532 near you" along with whatever filesystems the Mach
people are using.  Therefore, burning it into EPROM may not be the
best choice...  It's nice to have Suns read /vmunix or /usr/stand/foo
from the ROM, but I've always thought that there should be a better
way to do that than to bury all sorts of filesystem code in ROM...
