Could you be more specific about elf. I was using option BOOT_IDE which uses ide_fill_inbuf.c etc. Seems to work for a raw partition, but I have not tried the combination with the Linux ext2fs in the other partition (right now using a ramdisk loaded from a floppy as the rootfs). Are you talking about ELF_BOOT?
If you put the raw ELF image in /dev/hda1, eric's code will read block after block hunting for that elf header. Point being that you can put the elfimage in /dev/hda1, and are not constrained to putting it in /dev/hda.
