Date: | Tue, 13 Oct 2009 23:03:44 +0100 |
SmartFirmware on Genesi Pegasos boards do.I have one and when I boot I see the ATI Radeon 9200 BIOS message, then openfirmware prompt.
Macs do require openfirmware forth rom (powerpc macs) or EFI rom (intel macs, not know if compiled for x86 or efi interpreter)
I've head the AmigaONE openfirmware implementation does the same as SmartFirmware (emulator), not tested any other architecture.

The rom_add_vga() and rom_add_option() macros are transformed into functions and sticked in there. They load the bios on TARGET_I386 and no nothing on other targets.IIRC the VGA cards on non-x86 machines contain ROMs too, some (PPC? Alpha?) machine had a simple x86 emulator just to run the ROM code. Then you could enable the VGA ROM loading unconditionally. So maybe the patch isn't necessary? Otherwise you could add two files without macros, then the files can be compiled just once.
