Yes, you are right. We have just successfully boot Linux with LinuxBIOS + Doc
Millennium on SiS 630. The whole system has only DoC Millennium as its sotrage device. No HD nor any other flash device
is required. We can even put a tiny
file system to run Microwindows "mdemo" demo program.

If things go fine, we will demo this in ALS.
