So you mean some sort of HAL like the VM on a IBM370 does.
Yes.
Possible but linuxBIOS is a _long_ way from that. And it's not really compatible with its overall goal which is to get the hardware up enough that a linux kernel can take over. Load a payload into ram and jump to that.
I know. But isn't one of linuxBIOS goal to have a stable, remote configurable bios for use in clusters? Wouldn't a vm (or hal if you will) be even more useful than a Basic Input Output System?
that's the job for xen, not LinuBIOS
