Humm, had one of my strange ideas. Would it be possible to use the
linuxbios kernel as the system kernel?? So instead of calling a new kernel
through FILO or booting from etherboot, could I just have Linux bios call
INIT, like a normal kernel. I am looking to get the best possible boot
time. 1

LinuxBIOS in itself is only minimal code for initializing a
mainboard with peripherals just enough for a Linux kernel to take
over and to the rest.
LinuxBIOS does not contain a kernel per se.

just make sure you have the absolute min device drivers and your suspend

Hello.
As my understanding, current LinuxBIOS can not boot Windows and
the reason for it is that it depends on 16bit bios feature much.
So far is right? If right, how about this way. Have you noticed already?
First, LinuxBIOS is loaded from flash ROM. Then, it moves itself to
uppder 16M area.

AFAIK only Win2k, but it could be advanced.

Look at Adam Sulmicki's ADLO work, he did something very similar to this.
I currently use ADLO so I might be able to answer your questions.
I've only sucessfully booted linux via LILO under ADLO. I mostly use
ADLO to get the video bios up and going.
I've tried to boot a MSDOS compact flash

ADLO is a deriative of the bios from the bochs project so if you can
get bochs to boot FreeDOS or MSDOS then the same should be possible
under ADLO.
starting with FreeDOS is probably a
or perhaps to put it other way around; 95% of current problems with BOCHS
bios is related to the ide driver. Get IDE driver right and it is quite
possible most of the stuff will work.

Plus the ADLO IDE stuff worked where the latest bochs stuff did
