I'm puzzled about the difference between these options. If I want to boot using an IDE device does the following make sense?
## Boot linux from IDE default CONFIG_IDE=1 default CONFIG_FS_STREAM=1 default CONFIG_FS_EXT2=1 default CONFIG_FS_ISO9660=1 default CONFIG_FS_FAT=1 default AUTOBOOT_CMDLINE="hda1:/vmlinuz"
I found these in mainboard/momentum/apache and am wondering if I can use them as is for my board.
Where is this from? There's no such board in LinuxBIOS, AFAICS.
Am I correct in interpreting this as: Use the IDE interface to boot which can contain an EXT2 or ISO9660 (CDROM) or FAT file system? (This is what I want -- simply boot Linux using the ATA drive connected to the IDE interface). I'm currently able to boot this way using a proprietary BIOS and want to do the same using LinuxBIOS.
You want to use the latest FILO version from svn, see http://linuxbios.org/Filo
Which board and chipset is this btw?
Uwe.
