+purpose: Configuration setting for OFW as a Coreboot payload under QEMU
+\ See license at end of file

+\ pc-linux sets the default values for the configuration variables
+\ that control the boot device to boot vmlinuz from drive A.

+create serial-console
+
+\ In virtual mode, OFW runs with the MMU on.  The advantages are
+\ that OFW can automatically locate itself out of the way, at the
+\ top of physical memory, it can dynamically allocate exactly as
+\ much physical memory as it needs, and it can remain alive after
+\ the OS starts.  The disadvantage is that it is more confusing -
+\ you always have to be aware of the distinction between virtual
+\ and physical addresses.
+
+\ If you use virtual mode for Linux, you can debug past
+\ the point where Linux starts using the MMU.  It is not strictly
+\ necessary to use virtual mode if you just want to boot Linux
+\ and then have OFW disappear.
