FILO boot from SATA disk on SI 3114.

[YhLu]

With some changes to filo, the sata can be used as normal IDE device in
filo.

Last problem in filo is only can boot from port 0 and port 1, and can not
boot from port 2 and port 3. That is SI 3114 limitation.

After install SUSE 9 Pro for AMD64, use following can boot into disk.
hde2:/boot/vmlinuz initrd=/boot/initrd ro root=/dev/sda2 console=tty0
console=ttyS0,115200

Please note "root=/dev/sda2", because kernel in Suse think it is SCSI just
as new 2.6 kernel.

YH

1. S2875 support is in the CVS tree already.
2. ATI randon --- At this time, you may not get the output from very
beginning.
3. boot sata --- good question, I will try that. Maybe need to add some code
in filo.
