Linld 0.97
Linld is a Linux loader for DOS. I wrote it when loadlin failed to load newer
kernel for me and I found loadlin source to bee too big and complex to fix.
So I just wrote a repacement.
Build instructions
------------------
You need a DOS/Windows machine. Download linld097devel.tar.bz2,
unpack it, cd DIST/LINLD097 and run !COMPILE.BAT
Usage
-----
LINLD [image=<file>] [initrd=<file>] [vga=vgamode] [cl=<kernel cmdline>]
vgamode: ask,extended,normal or dec/oct/hex number
Defaults:
image=bzImage
initrd=(nothing)
cl=auto
vga=0
Use quotes: "cl=..." if you need spaces in cmdline
Use cl=@filename to take cmdline from file
Acknowledgements
----------------
Lots of code was borrowed from loadlin source
(author of loadlin is Hans Lermen <lermen@elserv.ffm.fgan.de>).
Some code from linux kernel (setup.S) was used too.
Thank you guys!
