Also I added something into the filo in Etherboot.
Does it contain anything about Etherboot ? I just want FILO !!!

Please let's give it's own namespace, just like freebios2 has.
Or at least could we start a util tree for these kinds of things.
that's my plan9. I'm considering this:
freebios2/payloads
for payloads like filo that are part of the tree.

The reason for put filo in etherboot.
1. It can let boot from HD or net according to CMOS setting.
2. Etherboot can produce zelf. We may got more space to put other stuff such
as USB support...
3. Etherboot structure and support...
I may check if filo.zlef only include FILO ..., even it is not,

only useful if your ethernet is hooked up. 15/16 of our nodes here have no
ethernet.

Hi,
I'll voice my desire to have etherboot with filo.
I love the fact that I can first try to boot remotely
And then if not use filo. For this reason alone I am
A fan of the mechanism. Try remote first then if fail
Use local storage. If we can, can we please put the
Etherboot flavor in utils
After increase the ROM_IMAGE_SIZE beyond 64K, Do you need to change
DXIP_ROM_SIZE?

From the very beginning, how to initialize the CF flash, do it manually?
Or if the CF FS crashed, how do you roll it back?

that's fine. choice is good. I have no complaints about that at all.
That's why I am saying we chose filo. At some later time we might choose
etherboot.

This is the bootstrap question.
LNXI booted etherboot to load our flashes up. Once it was up, I reflashed
flash and CF with a FILO-only image.

How does the CF in your PDA get inited ?
How do you recover your PDA when it crashed? Connect to
the internet ?

If that fails go local or vs versa. Kinda like if mom is

again, if you have remote to try, that's fine, go for it.
If you don't have that ethernet connection, then counting on etherboot is
kind of pointless :-)
There is also the error in filo where

Yes, having the net connection does make things nice...if ya have it:)

Filo does need a home and it can run outside of etherboot
So I would concede that is ok to have a home for it.
Although...sniff I do like it in etherboot;)

Mount the CF in an other computer and put what you need on it.
There are a number of other ways.

not that important to us.
That's something that would be very interesting for OpenBIOS.
It seems this is not that easy without etherboot's
I guess FILO will be in Etherboot from 5.2.6.
I think we may add several lines in README to make users to enable linuxbios
support.
It should be
1. Changes in arch/i386/Config.
Comment out PCIBOS
Enable LinuxBIOS line.
Enable X86-64 line

You will go there unplug the CF. (You may need to spend sometime to figure
out which one).

Yea, but I was speaking for EMBEDDED people why they want FILO as FILO
instead of FILO as FILO+Etherboot.
