I have checked the Etherboot, and it would be some easier to integrate filo
into Etherboot.
May add one BOOT_FILO in cmos.layout.
In the core/main.c, will judge if boot type is BOOT_FILO, and will call
filo, and set state still =4, so it can boot next device.
The problem is it is some kind of
Eric,
Greg just move the fs support from filo to linuxbios, and create fs_stream.
It still calls the elfboot to load the elfimage in HD. And it doesn't
support linux_load.
So it is some kind of boot loader you said.
It is really enhancement to ide_stream.c

Correct. I haven't included linux_load, though it would probably be
easy to do. FILO simply calls elfboot to load the image from a
filesystem.
Merging FILO with etherboot is a fine idea, but it doesn't solve the
loader problem for PPC. At this point I don't see any requirement to
port

Not everyone here at LANL is that satisfied with etherboot, and in fact we
are moving over to FILO. There are a lot of reasons. We've just had lots
better luck

Sure. That's where I started this project from almost 5 years ago. We only
have this plethora of bootloaders (etherboot, filo, 9load, etc.)

Feature bloat.
No, it's functionality that is needed for PPC

Ron, is LANL going to maintain FILO then?
Right now, LANL doesn't by itself maintain everything any way. Look at the
excellent work you and Yinghai and others do every day on LinuxBIOS.
Unless I hear from SONE soon it is starting to look like like
RE the bigger issue of compiling things direct into linuxbios.
I've been thinking for some time of an experiment, namely turning this
whole business inside-out. Think of it this way: there is a runtime
