It is using a few dirty hacks and some code from NetBSD but these should be able to be removed when Peter Grehan has finished his changes to the openfirmware function.

I have made a tarball of the patches and extra files required here.

I haven’t got it fully working but I can get it to the point when it will attempt to schedule tasks. It does show the state of the registers before the exception. I can use them to help figure out the state the CPU is in.

I’ve managed to track down the problem to calling the clock interrupt handler. It doesn’t appear to get to the code that handles the clock so I’m looking into where it its that it fails.
