First familiarise yourself with the general methods for running from hard disk via the excellent HOWTO on the LEAF site.
Bering's kernel has module support for IDE built in (always a good idea to check the kernel config file which most developers provide with the dist so you can check what is in and out of the kernel). This means that you need to load the ide modules at boot time. The ide modules are available from leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/ and are called ide-mod.o, ide-disk.o and ide-probe.mod.o. The procedure for adding modules to /boot/lib/modules is described in the docs on Jacques' LEAF site. Finally make sure you follow the HOWTO on the necessary changes to syslinux and it works. How do I know? Because I happen to have done it on Monday.

What I would like to do is repeat this with a 2.4 kernel (currently messing around with Bering Beta4...no probs running from floppy). What do I need to do to make this run from a hard drive? I'm hoping for something other than "compile a 2.4 kernel with IDE support enabled", but I'll try to if I have no choice (severe lack of experience with compiling a kernel on my own). Is there a 2.4-IDE kernel out there? Am I stupid, and there's some simple config option to make the Bering 2.4 kernel boot from my HD? I'm running this on a Dell PowerApp Web 100 (single PIII-73/256MB/dual EEPro100) and using Bering Beta4/Syslinux 1.66 on my HD. Any info is *greatly* appreciated.
