yes, definitely.

It is not that it "won't be supported" as much as there wasn't much of
interested. That's all. I bet it is just at most one day of work to get
booting from floppy to work.. so it is not a big deal.


It would be much easier if you could put what's the target OS you are
going to run, as it would make answering question easier. For example if
you don't need PC BIOS services (it is what ADLO/BOCHS-BIOS is about) then
there are tons of other ways to configure LinuxBIOS.
