Yeah sorry, I kind of did that by stealth. Ron and I get lots of 
requests from people wanting to use LB but who don't know how to deal 
with the payload issue. We decided that it would be really nice to have 
a simple bootloader that understands some basic filesystems built into 
LB. That way people can get going without having to deal with etherboot 
or FILO directly. A nice side effect is that it simplifies the FILO 
code significantly - in fact the only code that is really required is 
the filesystem support. Also, another major plus is that the code 
supports PPC as well as x86. Up to now I've had no bootloaders 
(etherboot or FILO) that work on PPC.

It seems someone (Greg ???) merge FILO into the LinuxBIOS 
hardwaremain.c and
it is can be loaded instead of elfboot.

In normal bios, when booting Etherboot with ASK_BOOT, and using Q can 
exit
from Etherboot and back into BIOS, then can boot into HD and use HD
bootloader.

In LinuxBIOS, if LinuxBIOS is using elfboot to boot Etherboot elf, 
when Q
from Etherboot, should continue to do the code after elfboot. So may 
put the
filo after elfboot.

But I think the best way is merged filo into Etherboot instead of 
Linuxbios
directly. Then We can use tg3-fs_stream.zelf or tg3_filo.zelf as 
payload of
LinuxBIOS.

It is more better if filo support boot loader (lilo) in HD.

I'll work on config file support next time.
Is this work still ongoing?  At first stab at a config
file could hard code it's location like you currently do
the kernel image.
Another question listing files.  Currently you have that
support completely removed from the Grub code.  Any thoughts
on adding that.
