ok, I see there is a kit:
Localdisk version features
* 1 x LinuxBIOS compatiable mainboard (Intel/AMD based)
* 1 x FlashRom with LinuxBIOS which is configured to boot from hda1
* 1 x BIOS Savior for bios selection
* Sample ELF kernel images
(the bios savior thing is cool eheh)
I think to understand that a DoC is not required if I have a local disk
in my system; I can put linuxbios and no other software on a normal
bios-like flash (2mbit should be enough) then load a kernel and operate
on a file system on my hard disk (which could even be a CF card,
inserted in the proper cd-to-ide adapter)...
The point is that I want linuxbios to powerup my living-room computer in
the shortest possible time: it is a satellite digital videorecorder (and
it has a big hard disk for this reason) which by now takes far too much
time to powerup (43seconds, many taken by the BIOS). How much time
should I expect for a 'local disk' init 1 linuxbios boot?
bye, thank you
