using kboot for booting

[Xiangfu Liu]

Hi Werner:
i am the new software engineer  live in Beijing.

when i google KBOOT
the first web is kboot.sf.net : )
and i read you plan carefully and i  started to make my own plan base on
this

if we  focus on the freerunner or both of freerunner and  neo1973?

so my first step is study  the first-stage boot loader,
and modify the first-stage boot loader to boot the kboot!
and second step  is modify the kboot  to Initialize neo hardware!

may be you can give me some advice about study first-stage boot loader.
