Before ridiculousness ensues, and people start blogging and/or
publishing misleading articles...

Let's be clear: there's *no* actual haiku code in the haikupi.tar.gz...

It's a few lines of asm, a very short C file that fiddles with the
GPIO, and a closed-source binary blob provided by the rPi guys
(apparently from broadcom?). The shell script compailes the .S and .c
file, and then smears them together with the blob to make it bootable.
Definitely right here Urias. *no* Haiku code is yet booting on the Raspberry Pi.
Thus far the only thing that has started on the Pi has been the linux kernel.
This is just me figuring out a way to boot something other then Linux on the Pi. (there was extremely slim documentation on what the Raspberry Pi was expecting 
for a kernel, etc)

Sorry for the confusion :)
