From http://www.linuxbios.org/pipermail/linuxbios/2006-November/016793.html:
{{{ The issue of booting XP just will not go away.
So, there are two options I see, in order of preference:
- find some way, using kexec etc., to boot XP under Linux, then put
Linux in FLASH; done 2. revive ADLO
there have been a number of suggestions for how to do the first one.
- freeldr (vapor?)
- tinyldr (vapor?)
any non-vaporous ones out there? This note is an attempt to start a discussion and discovery on this subject. }}}
