答复: FILO 0.4

[Yinghai Lu]

It seems someone (Greg ???) merge FILO into the LinuxBIOS hardwaremain.c and
it is can be loaded instead of elfboot.

In normal bios, when booting Etherboot with ASK_BOOT, and using Q can exit
from Etherboot and back into BIOS, then can boot into HD and use HD
bootloader.

In LinuxBIOS, if LinuxBIOS is using elfboot to boot Etherboot elf, when Q
from Etherboot, should continue to do the code after elfboot. So may put the
filo after elfboot. 

But I think the best way is merged filo into Etherboot instead of Linuxbios
directly. Then We can use tg3-fs_stream.zelf or tg3_filo.zelf as payload of
LinuxBIOS. 

It is more better if filo support boot loader (lilo) in HD.

Is this work still ongoing?  At first stab at a config
file could hard code it's location like you currently do
the kernel image.

Another question listing files.  Currently you have that 
support completely removed from the Grub code.  Any thoughts
on adding that.
