Somehow I find it hard to believe that a bunch of gentoo hacks ported elilo over from IA_64 on their own. It's mostly written in assembly, so porting would be not only a pain, but require a large amount of it to be rewritten.
This is why RedHat went public with plans to get linux booting on intel-macs... they knew it was going to take a larger share of brain power to get the job done, and why not have their name attached to such good press.
:/ I'll believe it when I see them post the details and patch code, and others use it to do the same.
no sig, how's that for being a rebel!
