What would be the point of that!, the whole reason to use Linux bios is for a clustering environment. Linuxbios was built for booting off the network in ways that bootp and PXE cant. (stock with some bios's) In my applaction speed of boot time is my only concern. Stock bios's a VERY slow! -Adam ----- Original Message ----- From: "Digital Infra, Inc." okajima@digitalinfra.co.jp To: linuxbios@clustermatic.org Sent: Thursday, January 27, 2005 9:40 AM Subject: Open Source BIOS is not only choice.
Sorry for forking a new thread.
I have read your discussion about booting Windows from linuxbios and understand that compatibility of open source bios is the issue. then, how about this idea. WARN: I dont know this is legal in your country. consult an attorney before you do something.
Proposal: Just use proprietary BIOS. you can buy it from BIOS upgrading company. and even I think you MIGHT be able to use a BIOS comes with your PC. I mean, you back up your proprietary BIOS before burn linuxBIOS and use it. For example, you save the bios image to HDD and use it.
