Open Firmware test image available

[Mitch Bradley]

An Open Firmware image for OLPC is available for testing.  See 
http://firmworks.com/linux/OFWtest.html for complete instructions.

The OFW image goes on a USB key along with a regular OLPC Linux build 
and LinuxBIOS boots OFW instead of Linux.  You can then boot Linux from 
inside OFW.  (OFW can also be configured as a LinuxBIOS payload that 
lives in the boot FLASH, but this version is set up to boot from a USB 
key so you can try it out without the risk of reprogramming your boot 
FLASH).

This is a complete Open Firmware implementation with all the trimmings, 
but only the essential OLPC devices are supported in this first 
release.  Support for a lot more devices is coming soon; see the 
instructions page for details.
