"...Open Firmware is software that is used after powering a machine to bring the operating system online (most visibly on PowerPC® and SPARC systems). ..."
"...OF is "Firmware" in the sense that it is "boot firmware," the code that runs in a machine between when power first hits the CPU and when the OS gets loaded. ... OF is written in ANSI Forth. ..."
Curious to know how the as400 IPLs. Does it run open firmware?
