[LinuxBIOS] Booting from a ethernet over ata device

[David Hendricks]

You may want to check to see if ethernet over ata is supported in Etherboot.
If you can make an Etherboot image with support for this, then you can use
that Etherboot image as a LinuxBIOS payload.

Good luck and check back with this list if you have difficulties.
