currently (afaik) noone has tried to get linuxbios working like this. (if i am wrong then pls tell me!) the plan is to have linuxbios, the kernel and a small rootfs in this m-systems chip (MD-2802-D08-V3 = 8MByte -- can boot linuxbios on DIP motherboards, MD-2202-D128-V3 = 128MB -- but i've heard on this list that it is not possible to boot linuxbios with this chip... we'll see ;-) ). the chip will sit on the DIP2PLCC converter. the converter sits on the BIOS Savior in its first stage (to program the msystems chip easyly). and the BIOS Savior is plugged into the mainboard instead of the bios chip.
I am glad you are doing this. We did in fact do this 3 years ago for SC 2000. It's a very nice way to go. Also, Andrew Ip ships DOCs formatted this way from cwlinux.com
