     11 0. What is this? 
     12 
     13   This program load the NetBSD/hpcmips kernel and execute it.
     14 
     15   - All data on your PDA will be lost if the kernel boot successfully.
     16   - NetBSD/hpcmips kernel is ELF format binary executable.
     17   - This program supports only MIPS (especially NEC VR41X1 or VR4102 CPU)
     18     platforms -- NEC MC-R series, CASIO E- series, Everex Freestyle and 
     19     others.

     21 1. How to use
     22 
     23   - Copy pbsdboot.exe and the kernel 'netbsd into your PDA and start
     24     pbsdboot.exe.
     25   - Select 'kernel name' and 'Frame buffer' appropriately.
     26   - Push [boot] button.
     27 
     28 2. How to compile
     29 
     30   Use Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0 and Windows CE toolkit for VC++ 5.0. It also
     31   needs Embedded toolkit for accessing raw block device to support native
     32   file system, FFS.
     33 
     34   VC++ 6.0 and toolkit 6.0 may works. But I've never tried.
     35 
     36 3. About version string
     37 
     38   If you modify this program and update pbsdboot.exe.uue, change version string
     39   which is coded in main.c appropriately.
     40 
     41   The version string is in format:
     42 
     43     Version A.B.C YYYY.MM.DD
     44 
     45   in where:
     46 
     47     A: Don't change this.
     48     B: Increment this number if you change program's behavior, fix some bugs
     49        or add new features.
     50     C: Increment this number if you change/add some parameters, constants or
     51        windows' resources
     52     YYYY.MM.DD: date
