+	boot:	     NetBSD/bebox booter.
+	elf2pef:     Convert ELF image to PEF image.
+	mkbootimage: Make bootable BeOS DR8 filesystem(a.k.a. obfs) image.
+
+
+boot:
+	enable one line and comment out other lines,
+	to select one console device from vga,frame buffer,serial.
+		vga:		CPPFLAGS+= -DCONS_VGA
+			e.g. S3 Trio64, ...
+
+		frame buffer:	CPPFLAGS+= -DCONS_BE
+			e.g. Trio64v+, Millennium I/II, Mystique 220, ...
+
+		serial:		CPPFLAGS+= -DCONS_SERIAL ...
+
+	if change CPPFLAGS after make, use 'make remake' to remake.
+
+	boot can read/exec kernel on ffs(floppy disk),cd9660(floppy disk),
+	attached image by elf2pef.
+
+
+elf2pef:
+	to convert
+		elf2pef boot boot.pef
+
+	if you want to attach kernel file into booter,
+		elf2pef boot boot.pef netbsd
+	of course can attach gzipped kernel file
+		elf2pef boot boot.pef netbsd.gz
+
+
+mkbootimage:
+	to make bootable floppy disk image
+		mkbootimage boot.pef image
+	or, to make direct bootable floppy
+		mkbootimage boot.pef > /dev/rfd0a
+
+
+Example of making bootable floppy disk:
+	% cd /sys/arch/bebox/stand
+	% make
+		cross compile environment:
+			do the following method instead of make,
+			% (cd boot; ppc-make)
+			% (cd elf2pef; make)
+			% (cd mkbootimage; make)
+	% elf2pef/elf2pef boot/boot /tmp/boot.pef
+		to attach kernel:
+			% gzip -c ../compile/GENERIC/netbsd > /tmp/netbsd.gz
+			% elf2pef/elf2pef boot/boot /tmp/boot.pef /tmp/netbsd.gz
+	[insert formatted floppy disk]
+	% mkbootimage/mkbootimage /tmp/boot.pef > /dev/rfd0a
