	boot:	     NetBSD/bebox booter.
	elf2pef:     Convert ELF image to PEF image.  Integrated to
		     powerpc's mkbootimage.  Obsolete.
	mkbootimage: Make bootable BeOS DR8 filesystem(a.k.a. obfs) image.
		     Integrated to powerpc's mkbootimage.  Obsolete.


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 cleandir' before 'make'.

	boot can read/exec kernel on ffs(floppy/ide/scsi) or attached
	in-kernel image by powerpc's mkbootimage.


Example of making bootable floppy disk:
	% cd sys/arch/bebox/stand
	% $(TOOLDIR)/bin/nbmake-bebox

	% nbpowerpc-mkbootimage -I -m bebox -b boot/boot /tmp/fd.img

	Or 

	% nbpowerpc-mkbootimage -m bebox -b boot/boot \
	      -k ../compile/INSTALL/netbsd /tmp/fd.img

	[insert formatted floppy disk]
	% dd if=/tmp/fd.img of=/dev/rfd0a
