Hi,
a quick question, is LinuxBIOS able to boot any of the BSD-flavours?
I'm especially interested in FreeBSD.

Greetings,
I'm trying to get ram working on an e7500 MCH.
It seems to be actually initting, but when I run ramtest it, I
consistantly see a single bit toggled when reading back such as:
00024ab4:00024a94
00024abc:00024a9c
All,
I would like to get my feet wet and build a cheap 3 node cluster to play
with linux bios, beowulf, etc.
Soo, if you were starting from scratch and wanted the motherboard that...
- is cheap
- has good linux bios documentation
- has a good success rate
...which would you choose?
Thanks
Was the question ever solved as to what chipset is used in the $199 model
from walmart.com?
It is a Giga-byte mobo, the GA-6VEML:
http://tw.giga-byte.com/products/products.htm. They list it as the VIA
VT8602 (PLE133T) and VIA VT82C686B chipsets.

You may consider PPCBoot (or Das U-Boot = the Universal Booter
We're working to port LinuxBIOS to a via 133 platform

wired such that on reset, 0x0 is mapped to 0x7FFF0

We have been trying various config file settings

I strongly recommend you just buy one pre-installed with linuxbios to
start. See cwlinux.com

LinuxBIOS will load etherboot.
etherboot has support for FreeBSD.
But I believe the FreeBSD kernel uses vm86 mode and makes x86 BIOS

yup. That's the state of
Ron and Eric,
Thank you for the response.
The problem that we're having is that the generated romimage
positions reset_vector / ROMTOP at 0x0, resulting in an
image size of ~ 1MB. Put another way, reset_vector is at offset
1MB on the flash device. At boot, the system fetches the
address
