But CF is probably better if you need lots of size, although I have also been thinking about using a raw partition on the hard disk. Has anyone tried this? The idea is to put vmlinux.bin.gz in hda1 (raw, using dd), which is say, 10MB. You know where hda1 is, just one cylinder over from the start. Then the ext2 fs is in hda2, which is the rest of the disk. The ide routines in linuxbios work fine for this, although the partition table skip-over is hardcoded and needs to be made a variable.
Anyone done this already or have comments?
yep, I've done it, it works fine.
And key is Eric's code which will hunt the elf header down ...
