i thought that was true, i'll add it to my barebox debugging page.
i know i mentioned this before but i've started a series of barebox
pages on my wiki that i may incorporate into some embedded linux
classes in the near future. in particular, i'm currently documenting
the set of initcalls invoked when booting my beagle xM:
http://www.crashcourse.ca/wiki/index.php/Barebox_initcalls_for_the_xM
which is a really convenient way to examine exactly what happens when
the xM powers up. i may now know what to do with pages just yet:
http://www.crashcourse.ca/wiki/index.php/Barebox_pages
but i just want the info available in case the need arises. all still
very much a work in progress.
