Non-etherboot, i.e. local hdd boot

[David Hendricks]

Etherboot is a somewhat misleading term, as it can be used to boot from various devices now including IDE.

However, I've really grown to like FILO ( http://te.to/~ts1/filo/ ) by Sone Takeshi. Follow the instructions for building and configuring it and use filo.elf as your payload.
