I got LinuxBIOS booted on the Tyan S2462 this morning, using:

	LinuxBIOS CVS + compile fixes
		CONFIG_COMPRESS=0  (haven't tested CONFIG_COMPRESS=1 yet)
	etherboot-5.0.7 3c9805.ebi
	mkelfImage-1.18
	Linux-2.4.20-rc1
	RedHat 8 (gcc-3.2 and 2.13.*)

Lack of understanding + outdated tools (downloaded a while back)
complicated things enormously.  It helps if one Read[s] The Fine Source.

HOWTO for Dummies (I'm overqualified :-)) to follow.

Thanks.
