Agreed that u-boot is great for letting you get on with the core task of working on FreeBSD itself. > Part of the idea here is avoid having to include UFS code in the boot > > loader. > > It's quite small, I don't see why you'd want to. The idea was to avoid the mental overhead and time of learning the UFS internals and teasing out the UFS dependencies from the kernel tree. However that Atmel executable you mention is probably a great example of how to do it. I'll check it out. I'd love to ditch the DOS partition for the reasons you mention. And also because in my case I want the bootloader to live in QSPI flash. Thanks, Lee
