I would love to use Linux as my boot loader, but is it possible to cram LinuxBIOS plus a kernel and initrd into a puny 256 kByte EEPROM?
Correction: we're using a 1 MByte EEPROM, which I notice is the same size specified for the OLPC.
I'll start digging into the instructions on wiki.laptop.org for building the OLPC LinuxBIOS. Any idea what configuration parameters I'd need to twiddle in emulation/qemu-i386/Config.lb to build the proper size image for qemu?
