Jay,

I have merged into FILO into Etherboot. You can get that patch from
Etherboot group.  So you can build tg3--filo.zelf. About the PCI scan in
Etherboot has no problem to find IDE other than bus 0.

Current it already supports serial IDE and normal IDE.

I'm working on add usb boot into FILO in Etherboot. The AMD8111 is using
OHCI, and I'm trying to make use steven code for USB boot, but it is only
support UHCI.
OHCI has hardware support for ED (QH) instead of SW QH.

Maybe I need to get UHCI addon card at first.

Please let me know if you has problem to get filo patch. And I would send
you my tar ball about filo in Etherboot.

Regards

YH

主题: Making payloads

The reason why my S2885 image wasn't working is because my system only
has 1 CPU populated.  A little tweaking to remove the second processor
and I can get FILO to come up. Unfortunately FILO does not detect the
IDE disk.

I noticed in the payloads section of Config.lb there are some multi-part
payloads, like tg3--ide_disk.zelf, and tg3--filo.zelf.

How do I create the multi-part payloads?  Ideally I would be interested
in a FILO that recognizes IDE.  Alternatively I am also pursuing a tg3
payload that will load my kernel over the network.

Thanks,
