How do I actually run a program ? Brian Denheyer (briand@zipcon.net)

OK, so I built lat_forkexec and it gave me forkexec and hello.

So this is probably a silly question, but seeing as how you can't boot eros and have it give you a shell prompt yet, I'm assuming that these programs are already "bootable" and simply need to be dd'ed to a floppy ?

I found lots of mention on the list of tests that do and don't work but nothing really about exactly how you go about running the tests.

Any pointers on how to do this, or on where to find the appropriate docs are appreciated.

P.S. I'm used to booting things from a serial port and downloading to flash :-) Speaking of serial ports, couldn't you get an initial eros up and running and then talk to it on the serial port to control the system ? Serial port programming is a lot easier to deal with than a network card device driver...
