Chris Rutter and Peter Naulls have both been working on boot-floppies for ARM
from the CVS since version 2.2.16. Risc-PC support is now basically fixed and
patches are being prepared (and some sent in I think). Unfortunately Chris's
net connection has been down for about a week so everything has stalled until
itis fixed. This should mean we can compile bf 2.2.17 for arm shortly, but I
can't be too specific without talking to them.

Does bf have to be built manually or do the build daemons get to do it? The
ARM build-daemon is now working properly so if it's automatic then it should
hhappen automagically in due course?
