This is the boot script for the olpc. It is normally ofund on the nand, in /boot.

Open firmware first searches for this file on a usb stick, then on a sd card, and finally on the nand. Below are found a commonly used script to allow for booting from a variety of locations.

overclock

You can also overclock your OLPC with the olpc.fth file. In order to accomplish this you need to set your timings before it loads the operating system. You must add some numbers to the forth stack and when write these registers using wmrsr. Shown below is a specific overclock frequency and that can be changed by altering the middle number to what you find below in the overclock table.
