[LinuxBIOS] Etherboot (FILO) with SATA on tyan s2895

[Myles Watson]

I am booting linuxbios with etherboot and filo as the payload. I tried to
follow the s2881 tutorial on the wiki.

Etherboot only finds my cd-rom. When I try to use hde:/ it tells me that
"Drive 4 does not exist". All drives up to j except hda (my cd-rom) give the
same error message. Sometimes if I try hdg it hangs.

I saw README.filo_in_etherboot where it says it only works on SATA port 1 or
2. I've tried on SATA 0 port 0 and 1, SATA 1 port 2 and 3.

I also seem to need to boot the factory BIOS in between each attempt, or I
won't get very far.

Is there something simple I've missed?

Thanks,
Myles
