I use a bochs setup that allows me to boot via tftpboot (including the
menu.lst file).  So my GRUB config, the kernel and all the stuff is in
/tftpboot, and I just run bochs.  Works like a charm.  I am happy to
share the config if anybody is interested.

Currently you don't even need a cross compiler.

I checked Pistachio 0.4 yesterday, and have some fixes for libl4 that
I just checked in, but nothing serious.  The bunch of the work was
already done several months ago when syncing against L4 CVS at that
time.

The patches for sigma0 in the README file should note be necessary
with pistachio 0.4 anymore.  But I have not yet tested it.
