Greetings,
These days, LinuxBIOS expects to find a bootloader in ELF format at the beginning of the ROM. Etherboot has an extension to load an image from a raw IDE partition. I'm working on one that can handle an ext2 filesystem, but it's VERY alpha at the moment.

how could you expect a 256KB romimage with a kernel in there? It's just not possible. I wish it were.
:) yes I know. However I couldn't find any config file or example to let the kernel image being loaded from the hard disk or IDE in general. On cwlinux it's possible to find images that load a kernel named "kernel" on the root file system. How can I reproduce this in my config file?
I will try to "grep -r" it out of the sources, but if anybody could help... I promise I will write a beautiful howto :)
bye bye!!! as
