Ralf,

Thank you for reply.
I wonder if I can take the initialization routines from it to use in my
custom flash bootloader?
I do not mean "cut & paste" bu rather ideas. I need a loader that will copy
the kernel with a
ramdisk from flash to ram and start the kernel. I saw that there is
something similar in milo.

By the way, how do supported machines boot nowadays? Lilo?

Thanks,
michael.
