That's why I thought that elfboot couldn't read .zelf, because the image sizes are incorrect. Actual image size for the tg3--filo.zelf image is 43,153 bytes, which is smaller than the file.elf image 43,472 bytes. But when I make a linuxbios.rom with the tg3--filo.zelf as the payload, elfboot generates the output I sent you.
