I think ozk or draco can answer this. Maybe there was a bug or problem 
related to this option.

Right, get_toscookie lookup the *original* TOS cookie table, not the 
FreeMiNT cookie table. With other words, use s_system() to lookup the 
final FreeMiNT cookie table.

Then the distclean target shall be enhanced to remove these files too. If 
you regulary develop on the kernel you can also get cvs write access to 
directly commit your changes.

You have two options: define your own DEBUG macros that go over 
KERNEL_DEBUG (see xdd/uart/pc16550.c for an example, search for "debugging 
stuff") or compile the inet4 module with debug enabled (sockets/global.h, 
set DEV_DEBUG to 1).

Sounds good. If ozk aggree I would say, just work on it. But please not 
graphical (a text interface is enough I think). I also had the idea to 
sort out the boot loader into a separate binary that then finally load the 
kernel and set some options (save a little bit of memory too).
