As the bootflag extension really only controlls the BIOS PNP OS flag,
and linuxBIOS assumes you are a PNP OS...
Of course it might make a good arguing point for getting the IDE
drivers to enable ide controllers when linuxBIOS doesn't do it for
them. After all the BIOS is only supposed to initialize boot devices
when the PNP OS flag is set. And since I obviously did not boot off
of the harddrive...
