I think the boot block should be outside of the LAR completely. A normal LinuxBIOS upgrade shouldn't touch the bootblock; that way, recovery code in there can help the user load a working image into flash after some screw-up, over a serial port or whatever. This also handily solves the current problem :-) Segher -- linuxbios mailing list [email protected] http://www.linuxbios.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
