I see people are using linuxbios in embedded systems for booting the embedded kernel. Why does linuxbios have to boot anything? I would think for an embedded system that is using linux anyway, you could just use the linuxbios linux as your kernel.
thanx, tom.c LinuxBIOS as the, "real" kernel...
Because LinuxBIOS doesn't contain a kernel. LinuxBIOS initializes hardware. One way to use LinuxBIOS, however, is to put the Linux Kernel on the same eeprom and boot it directly. However, that's not always possible due to small eeproms, it also makes it difficult to update that kernel. Therefore, there are a variety of other ways to acquire the kernel and boot it.
