It would also make it difficult to netboot a DECstation - the firmware only boots ECOFF kernels. I don't know if it will break delo (the DECstation boot loader), too. >For Debian, I'd like to have some workaround for arcboot before we >kill ECOFF.

I am not sure, but isn't ECOFF still in use by other, still supported OSes? irix? AIX? HTH, Uli -- Dipl. Inf.
