Yes it is.

There are basically two strategies if you want to boot Bering (or any LEAF variant) distro from an hard disk (be careful: you loose the security attached to a write-protected media): 1/ You make a ***msdos*** partition on your hard disk, install syslinux on it an copy all the packages you need on the hard disk. Do not unpack anything. You modify syslinux.cfg to declare the new PKGPATH to hdx and you put your ide modules in /boot/lib/modules and save this in modules.lrp (do that on a floppy distro before copying initrd.lrp to the IDE disk). linux kernel and initrd.lrp will be loaded thanks to syslinux, the ide modules will be loaded then and after that the /linuxrc script will load the other packages from the hard disk. Bering will be run from a /tmpfs fs as with a floppy distro. Your IDE disk is just another boot media where your packages are stored. 2/ You make a linux ***ext2*** partition on your hard disk and ***unpack*** all the packages you need there. This is a more "hackish" approach where you get a quasi linux distro on your disk. Not really recommended and requires some knowledge of the program structure and some tuning too.
