Yeah, that would be nice. It would also avoid depending on a "traditional" first-stage boot loader to load things from disk. (That is, in a standard configuration. kboot doesn't really care how you load it.) By the way, how much flash is in modern x86 motherboards these days ? 2 MB would be great for kboot, more would certainly invite creative abuse (animated splash screens ;-), 1.5 MB would be just enough while constantly hitting the ceiling, 1 MB may be too small to do anything useful. - Werner -- _________________________________________________________________________ / Werner Almesberger, Buenos Aires, Argentina [EMAIL PROTECTED] / /_http://www.almesberger.net/____________________________________________/ -- linuxbios mailing list [email protected] http://www.openbios.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
