This sounds similar to something I was trying... a boostrap written
with as that loads a 'kernel image' from disk, engages pmode, and
jumps to it. This kernel image would be constructed from a COFF file.

I looked at how Linux did it, and it used some wierd ld switch I'd
never seen before, and my DJGPP ld didn't like it.

How do I create a code image, prelocated for a specific base address,
that can be just loaded and jumped to???

TIA,


ABW
