hi, I'm new for LinuxBIOS. I have problem about my mainboard(VIA-EPIA) Now I'm use LinuxBIOS but I want to customized it to chang payload from etherboot with my program about serial port(now this mainboard use serial console) how can I'change it(my program use assembly). Thank you for answer
The payload can be exchanged from Etherboot to another self-contained ELF file simply by recompiling LinuxBIOS.
I'm not quite sure about the status of the EPIA port in the version 2 CVS tree, but it's there and there's been work put into it so it should probably compile and work just fine.
The best bet is to check the mailing list archives for information, and then grab the CVS code, or a snapshot, and make your own build.
While making your own build you can also take out all serial port activity not needed for your application, of course.
