Your task is to insert the lilo boot image on to the local hard disk.
1) Run linux on the disk, then run lilo with lilo.conf specifing the
etherboot image
2) Use some magic. Boot on floppy or CD. Make a lilo.conf (on your ram
disk) Use the bios= parameter (0x80 or 0x81) and run lilo.
3) Use lots of magic. Use dd to install the lilo image and kernel on
your hard disk. I don't know how to do this.
4) Turn the FD around (to face inwards) and close the box with a boot
floppy in the drive.
5) Buy bootroms from disklessworkstations.com
6) Find a local business to make eproms for you. Common R&D electronic
tools.
