Re:M68k Kernel - 2006/06/19 11:12
Hi Mike,
my first idea was to just look up how linux does it. Unfortunately the m68k branch (Linux/m68k) however seems to use a technique that start linux from a running system, just like any other ordinary application. That's probably not what you want..
Searching the Linux m68k site, I however stumbled accross an obviously quite new loader called emile, that seems to be capable of booting a linux system nativly from a floppy. It's based on lilo and, even if you can't use it for your own kernel, you might be able to get the necessary information from the code and/or by asking the emile developers for further assistance.
Once I get it to boot I should be just fine.
Now that's the right attitude 
From what I can see that documentation about your platform seems to be more than just poor. Writing anything usable probably won't be that easy..
regards,
gaf
