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.
And I am working on a tool that can do a lilo like thing, and generate an ELF header for a kernel stored anywhere on the disk. And put that header at the start of the disk.
It works but it needs some variables.
