needed something quick at the time.
Personally, I am not a fan of CFE and would love to

Firmware is a stepchild and all implementations have in common that

would it be reasonable to choose couple of bootmonitors and support
them under MIPS/Linux umbrella. even bootable linux would be a good
choice.
