We currently have an IDE driver. And if you put your ELF header within the first 4K of disk you should be o.k. There are 2 ways to accomplish that. 1) Put a partition right after the partion table. 2) Drag my lilo like utility out of me. It places an ELF header at 1K for a preexisting ELF image. Beyond this we still have some work to do. There is the silly LBBL bootloader in the linuxBIOS tree that we can play with, besides etherboot. Eric
