This sounds doable. The real question I guess is what do we want this for? > P.S. Can we have mutiple .stream in a LinuxBIOS image ?? For example, > I am trying to use DoC with Kernel image on IDE disk. Right now we can compile in multiple drivers but wey only use the first one. Where I envisioned this being used in a minimal bootloader compiled from the linuxBIOS source.... Cool we are seriously starting the booting/bootloader conversation with multiple people having code. Given how much of a distraction it has been to get linuxBIOS up on several platforms that is a very good thing. Now we just need to get down to details. Eric
