PowerPC Assembly

So I’m slowly getting my head around PPC assembly. Its not too dissimilar to x86 (in the backwardness), but ugh, loading things in high/low combinations.  erugh.

Anyway, IEEE 1275 Open Firmware specs dictate what the register state be on load, so I’m hoping thats what the efika will present me.

The sooner I can get out of the assembler bootstrap and back into the C bootstrap the better smile… Will see if the MBAR is at 0x80000000 or not like reset say it supposed to be…
