getting a Linux box up and running ... Means to me Run LILO. On my PC LILO Boots 4 different OS's better than any multi boot solution I ever HAD. (Win98 ,NT4 ,Win2k ,RedHat 6.1) have I forgot something. So yes give me a LILO loading BIOS and You're work is done !!! By the way LILO in ROM ?? sounds like the right place for it.
It will be a pleasure going into LILO code and changing :
mov AX ,BIOS_READ_BLOCK move DX ,aBlockNumber INT 13h by : BIOS_ReadBlock( aBlockNumber ) ; Then linking and flashing viola 4 OSsAbout flashing Software. Does any one need an NT+GUI flashing Application I have one with code - For flashing OnBoard PCI-connected Flash chips ( only the address change same chip programming ). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve and Sue" Steve.N.Sue@tesco.net To: "OpenBIOS" openbios@elvis.informatik.uni-freiburg.de Sent: Thursday, January 20, 00 10:33 PM Subject: [OpenBIOS] Questions...

I'm dinking around with getting a BIOS to run in some form of an emulator, like VMWare. That way I can't mess anything up too badly. I think I'll get that up in the next little while. Any other ideas? - James

I think it's maybe a deadend. The openbios challenges are with the chipsets, and vmware won't help you much there.

James,
If you can get it to work, the loadbios program on the OpenBIOS Web page should be your best bet. It will load your OpenBIOS image into RAM where the BIOS normally lives, and then warm-reboot to start the image.
It wouldn't work for me, though :( I think the reason is that I cannot disable BIOS shadowing on my i430FX.

There's an easy way around this, namely, make sure that you jump to 0xffff:0 instead of doing a reset. You get lots of testing done that way, and the shadowing is not an issue, and ffff:0 is the normal reset vector.

That makes sense.
Do you have a small BIOS loading program we could package with OpenBIOS, or at least put up on a Web page somewhere?
Regards,
Jeff
we're going to get this to you soon ...
There's a bit more testing we want to do.
