You can also use the etherboot 5.0.6 ide patch solution, which contains
file system support (ext2, ext3, and vfat) so you don't have to move your
partitio
Just a quick follow-up. I noticed that I had to add the following line
in the config file:
docipl /pathto/ipl.S
ok. now for ipl.S (for a 440BX chipset?)

After erasing the DoC, I'm realizing that I need an ipl i
I have just implemented inline assembly

It will now use sse and mmx registers when you give
it the appropriate -mcpu= option. I am not happy with
the command line options but fixing them is easy.
In addition the quality of the register allocations has improved

Some of the stuff is probably implemented in busybox, which is a lot
smaller than bash, mount, umount,...
Also, using dietlibc or uclibc might

Have you tried busybox and uclibc? You can safe quite alot storage area.

you can do that, but another option is to have linuxbios+linux kexec an
elf image from the disk. This allows you t
The initrd is 3MB uncompressed. I require a few utilities (bash, echo,
mount, tar, and umount).
When the system boots and loads the initrd, it mounts hda1 which contains
a root tarball. It then extracts the tar into the ramdisk. So it
requires a few system libraries. c, ld, dl, rt (tar), termca

Those are intel flash parts correct? My initrd is 1.3MB right now. I'm
not using it for libraries. I am using it to set up the root filesystem.
It mounts hda1 which has a tarball containing the fs for the root fs.
extracts that to a ramdisk, switches teh root device, and exits. I would

yes, I forgot to mention that with the new 1 MB 82802ac parts, I can put
linuxbios, kernel and initrd directly into FLASH.

SONE,
I had not been able to find any documentation on BOOT_IDE, so I tried
using Eric's mkelfImage with etherboot and the ide_disk loader. The only
problem I have there is it requires me to leave an empty chunk of disk at
the beginning of the drive to place the elf kernel+initrd image. That
