"The kernel drivers support the 2000 and the Millennium, along with the DIMM
which appears to be functionally identical to the 2000. You can't use the
2000 (and hence the DIMM) for LinuxBIOS, though, because the IPL is in ROM
and cannot be reprogrammed."

"You can not use DoC 2000 for booting. It does not have a programmable
IPL area. The DoC Millennium driver works fine for us. The only problem
is that the NFTL driver is not stable enough."

Please save me a trip through the M-Sys data sheets and the source code. DOC
Millennium only comes in 8MB with mention of a future 16MB version. I was under the
impression from the above comments that 8MB DOC Millennium can only be used for
booting LinuxBIOS. You can use the larger DOC 2000 devices (24, 32, 128MB ... )for
whatever you wish, but not as the LinuxBIOS boot device.
