		anthk 60 days ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Lisping at JPL (2002) 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!
