what's the current status of ADLO? Is it still maintained? Where? I can't find it in the LinuxBIOSv2 tree, but it's still in theLinuxBIOSv1 repository. Is there any upstream website? http://www.missl.cs.umd.edu/sebos_phase2.html doesn't seem to be up-to-date, and I cannot find any code there.
We should maintain a page in the Wiki for it. It needs quite a bit brush up.
The information on how to enable/disable the A/B/C/D/E/F segment memory needs to go to LinuxBIOS, otherwise we have to change ADLO for each mainboard. I suggest packing something into the LB table is a good place for this.. Any takers? ;-)
What does actually work with current ADLO? Does it boot
- Windows XP?
- Windows 2000?
- OpenBSD?
- (Free)DOS?
- anything else?
It is using bochs bios (a too old version maybe) so theoretically it should be able to boot everything that bochs/qemu can boot as well.
Windows 2000 was proven to work. Dont know about others...
