Does linuxbios in the current version support elfboot images from 
ide/floppy (directly, without etherboot)?  I guess if it does I don't 
see it.

One issue I have with elfboot images is the inability to dynamically 
pass parameters to the zero page (specifically the vga cursor location). 
  I understand the idea of not locking the boot mechanism into the bios, 
but there are pros and cons.

The final step of booting Linux is pretty independent of the other 
linuxbios code, though, so it is easy to patch in an alternate technique 
for someone (like me) that has specific requirements.
