etherboot

[Serafino Sorrenti]

I have added to the pcchips.config file the payload string but after flashing 
the rom i don't see any debug on the serial port.
With rom m810-ide.rom from cwlinux i don't have any problem to boot my 
linuxbios from HD, but it has only 8Mb of video ram wich is not enough for 
me, and it fails booting from a compact flash mounted on a cf->ide adapter.

i'm getting crazy for this problem :(

pcchips.conf is my config file
unz.config is the original config file


tnx 

Serafino
