- Did you ever want to boot into Unix from AmigaDOS without needing to reboot,
- waiting for the bootmenu, selecting that partition... ??
-
- Well here we go, I took the boot sources from /usr/sys/amiga/boot, and made
- them use DOS instead of device-IO. The assembler files were converted from
- SGS syntax into MIT syntax, which will probably shock any non-gcc users;-))
- The result is a simple but useful program called unix_boot, that can be
- used to boot from any ELF-kernel file you'd use on floppy or your harddisk.
