Okay - tell me about GRUB, I take it that it's similar to LILO in that it's
a boot manager?

Yep. You can load it into the DiskOnChip in place of their normal firmware, so that the system BIOS runs Grub instead of trying to boot normally. Then there are patches to grub itself to make it drive the DiskOnChip. Those patches aren't 100% perfect yet, but they're fairly close. They're in CVS. -- dwmw2 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

This is simply because nobody's contributed a map driver to make them work with the MTD code yet, and every time I look at the PCMCIA code my head hurts and I get distracted into working on my pending rewrite of it. -- dwmw2 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

That's because LILO doesn't work properly with DoC. Use grub instead. kira. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread
