well, maybe. I am also working to move the emulator to become a linuxbios 
component. For many reasons, this is much safer than just running the BIOS 
directly. 

But you do what that screen on boot so we will start pushing that harder. 

I could use your help on this, since we do get some problems with some 
cards.

That would be the right way to start. 

I think in the long term the emulator is the way to go, and possibly in 
the short term too.
