O.k. So redboot doesn't have code any chipset specific code yet?
I'm curious how much did redboot need to change to be able to
run under linuxBIOS? To build the ebi?

Looks interesting. I don't know if it is a final solution but
redboot looks small enough that it could easily make a good
playground for testing things out and getting drivers to work. No
offense to tiara but last I looked it was tied to tightly to the
SiS630 to make a good playground.
Unless there are caveats for using your ebi on other chipsets I'll
try it out later today.
