There have been a glad you find it useful. While i have your attention -- how much work do you think it is necessary to remove the dependency on nasm and let the code compile just using the standard assembler (as i believe ?) which comes with FreeBSD/Linux/cygnus tools for windows ? Is it just a matter of replacing the .S files with equivalent ones in gcc syntax in case hey are not yet ? cheers luigi > lot of people asking about how to use compact flash based IDE drives to > boot Etherboot, and this would work really nicely for that, and the > ability to use a single file for either floppy or hd loading means people > don't have to do SYSLINUX or LILO if they don't need them.
