Agreed. I wouldn't call it specifically a selling point. It's more
educational, for me anyways, seeing how LinuxBIOS should act as I've
never had easy success with my motherboards & early_serial/console_init.
Setting LinuxBIOS to boot Filo to boot Qemu, taught me also how Filo.elf
works, etc. (I now know what I should expect to happen with my
motherboards here... neither have gotten past elfboot yet either.)
