Hello again,
I had previously written about which BIOS chip to use, I am wondering now if video and sound will work on the 810LR. I have examined the CVS code and it seems that it doesn't really do anything but set up irq tables for vid/snd, and I figure the linux kernel does the rest. I am pretty sure vid/snd will work but I am wondering if I am wrong in assuming that. Oh, and also, is there a way for LinuxBIOS to just have etherboot and have etherboot load the kernel over the network as it usually does? (Could I use the onboard 2megabit BIOS?)

that's the default mode for just about any FLASH part nowadays, as they are all so small. Get the latest cvs from etherboot.org, build allelf, and you can use one of the elf images as the payload instead of a linux kernel.

Yes, both video and sound works perfectly underl LinuxBIOS.

Yes, this is how Eric do for their cluster in lnxi.com.
