So, if I want to boot from Compact Flash IDE which has Linux, would LinuxBIOS directly boot it. Do I really need ADLO for this purpose ? And also can one do away with etherboot as well ? If ADLO is not needed, then would the kernel image be read by the LINUXBIOS directly from the IDE if we specific the path of the vmlinuz image.
I read a message from Ron, that one can just do cat vmlinux..gz > /dev/hda1 and etherboot would be OK. Should it done something like this when BOOT_IDE is set. Could you please elaborate.

Hi,
If I burn ADLO alongwith linuxbios on rom do we need to specify
BOOT_IDE=1
Nope. BOOT_IDE is merely to use the ide support thats directly in LinuxBIOS, in which case it would skip right over ADLO.
