Guys, I started working on the ski port today. I have it compiling, but not linking. I have to implement the FreeBDS syscalls first. A thought struck me: what if I, instead of implementing most syscalls so that ski can be used for user processes, I implement an EFI interface first? We're currently not really interested in userland code, so we're going to run ski in "raw" mode anyway. I should be able to hack something together that allows us to work on a real EFI bootloader. With a combination of fake and real ACPI entries we should be able to boot a kernel as if it was running on real hardware, right?
