Any comments ?
This is wonderful, as it may solve the SCSI problem too.
I agree with eric that in general going to expansion roms as an option is undesirable, but ... sometimes you have no choice. I have friends at one lab who will be able to use linuxbios on 64 machines if we can init the SCSI BIOS on their RAIDs.
Definitely! Pragmatic decisions are not always those with the nicest design, but in this case it will no doubt help LinuxBIOS gain a lot of momentum against the other alternatives (ie. http://www.tianocore.org/)
getting scsi to work will be some more work than vga due to int13 overloading, but given how far things have come in the last couple of days this will happen rather sooner than later.
