I haven't looked at the very early init of Linux kernel for a long time. IIRC, we can just boot the vmlinux ELF image with LinuxBIOS/FILO The ELF image does not contain the arch/i386/boot stuff at all. Is there any reason we have to load something like bzImage?
I think the issue is that VGA parameters have to be set. See below. How do we want to do this?

#ifdef CONFIG_VIDEO_SELECT movw %fs:(0x01fa), %ax # User selected video mode cmpw $ASK_VGA, %ax # Bring up the menu jz vid2 call mode_set # Set the mode jc vid1 leaw badmdt, %si # Invalid mode ID call prtstr vid2: call mode_menu vid1: #ifdef CONFIG_VIDEO_RETAIN call restore_screen # Restore screen contents #endif /* CONFIG_VIDEO_RETAIN */ call store_edid #endif /* CONFIG_VIDEO_SELECT */
