LinuxBIOS (initialises hardware) -> payload (etherboot,OpenBIOS, FILO
etc.) (-> operating system)?
Ok, but that was just an example. Technical jargon explanation is still
needed to get into linuxbios. For instance:
http://www.clustermatic.org/pipermail/linuxbios/2003-March/002240.html
This mail mentions SPD,VID,DID,I2C etc. Does everybody know what these
mean? To get more people interested in linuxbios one has to lower the
bars, and technical jargon is a major blocker (at least for me). And yes,
I do know what i2c is, and I think I know what spd is (ram speed?) but vid
& did does not ring a bell. For anyone not knowing what i2c is I'll
recommend:
http://www.esacademy.com/faq/i2c/index.htm
