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.
Oh, wait, i see what you mean. On closer inspection of etherboot-5.1.7 they didn't include the file system code? I wonder why.. but alright.
Because I rolled the code in. And I have always seen the fs code as overkill for the problem.
However the code should be layered well enough that you should be able to incorporate the fs code if you like.
