* Patch by Thomas Frieden, 13 Nov 2002:
Add code for AmigaOne board
(preliminary merge to U-Boot, still WIP)
* Patch by Jon Diekema, 12 Nov 2002:
- Adding URL for IEEE OUI lookup
- Making the autoboot #defines dependent on CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_KEYED
being defined.
- In the CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS #define, the root-on-initrd and
root-on-nfs macros are designed to switch how the default boot
method gets defined.

All options need +to be hardcoded. You can do this by editing debug.h. You can +turn on a bunch of debug output. Other options allow you to +boot the primary card (CONFIG_ACTIVE_DEVICE), save the bios +to a file (SAVE_BIOS), and map the original system bios +(MAP_SYS_BIOS). + +The author wants to thank + Hans Lermen (dosemu) + and + Kendall Bennett (x86emu) +for their support. + +Parts of the code - especially in v86.c and io.c - are based on code +taken from dosemu.
