RE: [OpenBIOS] Fine.

[Stawnyczy, Evan]

my understanding of lilo is that if you place it on the boot sector, you can
load the boot sector to a point in memory (I cannot recall exactly where
right now, you can email me farther if you need to) and simply jmp to it.
Actually all boot sectors work the same way...

I´ve just completed an small piece of Hardware. Only a 486 16mb EDO an UART.
Everything put together on a small pcb-board. Then modified Openbios a
little bit, loaded it into a ROM-emulator and go!

*COOL*!
The machine boots, complains about the missing RTC (who needs an rtc?),
tests the mem ...  and then executes :

for (;;);

Ok for that. - but can somebody tell me what I have to do to get a
Linuxkernel loaded ? I intend to put an 16bit latch on the isabus and
connect a flashdisk there ...

I could write C code to load the kernel image from the first, say, 1k blocks
of the disk. But where do I put this image and how I´m gonna start it ?

Please someone gimme a hint on that. I´ll submit the loadcode Ive done then
back to this group ... maybe someone wants to use it ?

Regards, Jake
