Great!

Now the only thing we should fix is

http://www.linuxbios.org/index.php/Payloads

where the list of possible payloads does not list Linux.

Sorry for jumping into this thread: What about grub2 (not grub legacy),

does it qualify as payload for LinuxBIOS?

In theory, yes, but grub2 is not there yet.

Two things are required to do this though:

- add an ide driver in grub2. biosdisk is not the way to go.

Right, it should not be that hard to add an IDE driver.  You only have

to focus on IDE driver development, not too much on integrating it

into GRUB.

If you are interested, I have written an IDE driver for grub.  Not complete

but working.
