slight status update for the iPhone LLB: timer functions are hackplemented, along with working commands for iboot.  now the user has to send the "go reactos" command to iboot to start the actual boot loader. the LLB will then check for several nvram variables (ramdisk-size, ramdisk-base, ramdisk-offset and loader-base) and will set up freeloader as required. the boot menu now displays and the system reboots when reinitializing paging. :)

Of course. we need to also reinitialize the arm address table

for the boot chain, I still need to get ramdisks working. this will most
likely involve hooking the iBoot command list and adding our own ramdisk
command to copy the image to some location in memory.

current state of the arm port is that the kernel does boot, however arm3
memory init is missing, so we just hang there.

I definitely wish you good look. If you get ReactOS somehow working on the iPhone (and here I'm already happy with "is able to start and run smss.exe") this might be the first (and only) reason for me to purchase such a device ;)

Regards,
Sven
