Great, so I think I can remove what I got from tiara to
load from IDE device at the moment.

What excatly is your boot strategy to know the kernel
image location and the kernel command line ?

Right now I used a small first partition without
filesystem to read raw the image which has a header
prepended for the sizes and the parameters.

When do you think you will have something usable ?
I need the IDE load within the next 2 weeks, so if
your code takes longer, I will go with what I have 
done so far.
