[Etherboot-developers] No simple loading from IDE...

[Michael G. <mge...@so...>]

OK, so we've been using etherboot to boot our CPU cards by placing it on 
small/cheap compact flash cards which show up as IDE devices.  The change 
which removed boot1a.s has therefore introduced a bit of a problem for me.
The lilo option is rather convoluted and a simple "make 1, dd the rest" 
solution isn't an option as the flash cards we use may have an arbitrary 
disk geometry.

If I were to produce a hard drive boot prefix without the size limitations 
of boot1a.s, would there be any interest in having another target for hard 
drive bootable etherboot images (ie. ethdrv.zhd or something)?
