boot_complete in hardwaremain() ?

Eric,

Is the boot_complete parameter in hardwaremain() still
used in freebios2 ? I found it is xor %ebp, %ebp in asm
and then passed to hardwaremain().

Yes.  There is a second path in.  It is only set when memory is
already initialized.

Watch what happens when you run /sbin/reboot on a hdama.
