You know that you can flash LinuxBIOS and Kernel together.
You can use kernel as bootloader or use itself as a real kernel.
That's the original idea of LinuxBIOS as far as I know.
Mothern mothoerboard comes with PLCC type of flash and is connected to FWH.
While the flash comes with mainboard is usually 256KB, you can replace
it with bigger one up to 1MB ( 1MB is the limit of FWH but It is enough for kernel) .
In my case, I use matsonic ms7057c ( I switched from ga-6oxe. ), It also comes
with 256KB flash but I replaced it with 512KB one. Then I flahsed kernel with ide
driver and I can boot from rootfilesystem on hdd ( 32MB DOM ).
