Well I have the cross-compilers setup on my machine so I have no issues. I
don't think I am going to track down an iPaq unless someone wants to give
one to me ;).

Well the bootloader is written in assembly & C. It is completely
standalone but it was written for execution right from reset; I don't know
much about the dynamics of getting it working under CE. KLOB does things
like initialize SDRAM, etc. Currently my target is a non-iPaq SA1110
platform & Brutus.

On my hardware, this bootloader is going to be the first thing executed
from ROM...I think it would take some work to get this on an iPaq or it
would require some migration of the osloader functionality to be able to
boot CE, which I know nothing about.
