I have today managed to boot from dos using loadlin. The version of loadlin I used is 1.6c. The kernel and initrd I used are from the hd-media installation method. The command I used to load linux was: loadlin vmlinux /dev/ram rw root=/dev/ram initrd=initrd.gz ramdisk_size=1000 The ramdisk_size is probably a bit higher than strictly needed. Cheers, FJP
