== TODO ==

 * Get eject onto miBoot-enabled boot disk so manual ejection of floppies is unnecessary
 * Fix quik-install (currently it doesn't do the right thing in terms of setting the OF variables needed to boot using quik)
 * Proposed solution for quik-install
   If /proc/device-tree can be included in the miBoot floppies (the
   hd-media and cd installs already include this support) I think I have
   the beginnings of a solution:

   If /proc/dev-tree/alias/screen exists
       nvsetenv output-device screen
    else
        Search /sys for a device of type 'display'
        If there's more than one, ask which to use
        Set output-device to the OF firmware name (this information is
        supplied in same directory as the 'display' device)
   endif

   if /proc/dev-tree/alias/kbd exists
        nvsetenv output-device kbd
   else
        not sure, will have to check if there is a way to do this
   fi

   The boot-device fix:

   First you determine what device under /sys is the boot device's
   controller, then you figure out what that corresponds to
   under /proc/device-tree.  Then you figure out the boot disk's
   OF name, based on it's /sys name.


 * Create patch for update of manual
 * Q: ''? Is BootX distributable.  If so, should it be included on Etch distribution media?'' A: ''Not distributable with debian''
