We are interested in using LinuxBIOS on our medical system, running the Digital Logic P5 PC-104 SBC. After reading these posts, and scanning the FAQ, I am confused about boot methods:
Will LinuxBIOS work on a stand-alone system with a EIDE disk?
yes, definitely.
If floppy boot won't be supported, can it boot from cdrom?
It is not that it "won't be supported" as much as there wasn't much of interested. That's all. I bet it is just at most one day of work to get booting from floppy to work.. so it is not a big deal.
It would be much easier if you could put what's the target OS you are going to run, as it would make answering question easier. For example if you don't need PC BIOS services (it is what ADLO/BOCHS-BIOS is about) then there are tons of other ways to configure LinuxBIOS.
