Using ADLO with Linuxbios

[Deepak Kotian]

So, if I want to boot from Compact Flash IDE which has Linux, would
LinuxBIOS directly boot it.
Do I really need ADLO for this purpose ? And also can one do away with
etherboot as
well ?
If ADLO is not needed, then would the kernel image be read by the LINUXBIOS
directly
from the IDE if we specific the path of the vmlinuz image.

I read a message from Ron, that one can just
do
cat vmlinux..gz > /dev/hda1 and etherboot would be OK.
Should it done something like this when BOOT_IDE is set.
Could you please elaborate.

Regards
Deepak
