Subject: Re: [Hampshire] linux boot loader
Hi

I have come across "kexec-loader" at http://reboot.pro/files/file/100-kexec-
loader/

kexec-loader is a Linux based bootloader that allows you to boot Linux and
multiboot systems from storage devices your BIOS does not support, such as USB
drives and PCI expansion cards. It fits on a 1.44MB floppy, supports most block
devices supported by Linux and is easy to use. kexec-loader supports reading
GRUB configuration files, this allows it to be used as a drop-in replacement for
GRUB.

This may be of interest to some members of the LUG
