I have an L440GX+. As I understand it now:

   1. To go from Phatbios to Linuxbios I just boot from the Intel floppy 
      with the Linuxbios romimage files on it

   2. To reverse the process, I do as you say with the recovery boot
      jumper

I presume that the fuming against Intel witholding knowledge is because of
this second step being awkward (especially if you have a cluster of
hundreds of these things.)
