You can load things into memory and run them with u-boot, so somewhat similar. :)

Can you please elaborate? Thanks.

A lot of machines that use u-boot wont give you a prompt unless you connect them from a serial connection. Ideally, these ARM VM8850 and up based netbooks should have a u-boot prompt with a keybinding. Also, it would be far better if they had an Open Firmware (Forth) based BIOS.

Thanks, never realized Open Firmware is written in Forth!
