So you are booting linux from DoC? you have a few choices - have linuxbios load the kernel from IDE. For various reasons I don't like this - put the kernel you intend to run in DoC. I don't like this much either, but it is what I do now. - put a Tom's Root Boot and a simple shell in a gzip'ed ROMFS on the DoC. Have a simple rc script that figures out what kernel to boot, and boots it using kmonte or kexec (don't use LOBOS, it is obsolete), or interacts with you to boot something else. Somebody was going to do this but it has not happened, but I ma looking at it too. So Yves if you would like to look at Tom's root boot on DoC that would be good. ron
