RE: Interesting HOWTO

[Gregg C Levine]

Hello (again) from Gregg C Levine
Great news!
Now the next great question. For which mother boards have you tested
this? Or one anyway. And of course which USB drives have you tested?

I remember this issue first coming up, when our friends at M-SYS,
launched their Disk-On-Key project. One of us, mentioned the device,
and posted a link for the thing.

Now the next big question, have you had a chance to create a HOWTO for
using your baremetal boot loader?
