I used a command like this to make the elf image.

--ramdisk=/boot/initrd-2.4.20-8smp.img \
--output=/root/elf/linuxImage
I think my root parameter at the mkelfimag command is correct because
I type mount command on the console when I have the AMI BIOS booting
the linux from the HardDisk, it looks like this,
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]# mount
/dev/hda2 on / type ext3 (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw)
/dev/hda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
If anybody tell me what I did wrong, I would be really appreciated.
I would suggest skipping the netboot portion and use FILO. It will load
a kernel directly from the filesystem, if you are planning on using
that as that root system, no point in pulling your kernel from the
network, when it is already on the system. I think that in V2 of
freebios it is in the source tree. Otherwise, you can find it and some
information at http://wiki.linuxbios.org/index.php/FILO or
http://wiki.linuxbios.org/index.php/Filo_on_AMD64 for AMD64. as well as
