Hello from Gregg C Levine Well, ah, I can't think of any. For my part, you've put in everything it needs, except the hardware itself. Right now that is. Later? I won't know until I try out Linux BIOS on an appropriate platform, and I'm still selecting one of those. ------------------- Gregg C Levine hansolofalcon@worldnet.att.net ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."

Greetings,
I have built a firmware chooser as a standalone elf image. Currently,
it
only concerns itself with tagged ELF flash images, but there is no
reason
it can't be generalized. The idea is that multiple choices of payloads
are
pre-pended with a tag including a signature and an ascii description.
The chooser finds the tagged payloads and presents a list of descriptions for the user to select from.
Since I was doing that anyway, I put together a bare metal toolkit for building elf payloads for LinuxBIOS (and other). It is composed of
many
pieces of LinuxBIOS itself, bits of Etherboot, and a linker script.
The question: Although mostly composed OF LinuxBIOS, and certainly
meant
for LinuxBIOS, it is standalone.
Does any of this belong in the LinuxBIOS tree? (utils, contrib,
other)?
G'day, sjames
