things are about to get a LOT easier. I just sent jordan some mods to 
buildrom.

To build a working bootrom for OLPC, you do this:
git-clone  git://dev.laptop.org/users/jcrouse/buildrom

cd buildrom
make

You then have a FLASH ROM image in deploy/linuxbios.rom

one stop shopping. I have flashed this image several times tonight -- 
under itself. bootmenu works like a charm. This is really fun!

Jordan and the bootmenu guys -- we are going to use this buildrom stuff 
on other linuxbios platforms. You have really moved the state of the art 
of linuxbios forward quite a bit. Thank you.

thanks

ron
