Interesting, thanks. I'll test this and apply or check for more fixes if
needed... I'll also try to check what's happening with the NE2000. Could
it be the ne2000_irq table in ppc_prep.c would not be correct ? It may
also be usefull to be able to use PCI network devices, if the target
runs properly, isn't it ?
If the proposed ROM image is best suitable to make PreP target run (and
as I don't spend a lot of time hacking OHW those days), it may also be
interesting to add a ppc_prep_rom.bin to the repository... In fact, it
was maybe not a good idea to try to use the same BIOS image on all
PowerPC targets...
