I saw a post about nuni in comp.os.linux.announce. nuni is a boot loader that does not use BIOS at all, and (only) this is the sales talk. It does work only for IDE and Linux, but I think it is interesting. Maybe we might get some idea from it. ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/boot/loaders/nuni-0.01.tar.gz ---------------------------------------------------------------------- OKUJI Yoshinori <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ^o-o^ http://duff.kuicr.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~okuji (in English) m /
