This is a nice idea. Have LinuxBIOS boot up a minimal Linux system from flash that has been prepared with the public key part of a card. Then have the minimal system wait for the right card to be inserted. (Of course it has to be challenged too.) After good verification, kexec the real system kernel. //Peter -- linuxbios mailing list linuxbios@linuxbios.org http://www.openbios.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
