[cobalt-developers] Cobalt bootloader



Does anyone know how to boot off of an initrd with the bootloader?  I'm
trying out some pretty wacky stuff, that if I can't get going, I'll just
have to give up, but it'd be nice to try.

I've got two hard-disks in a Qube 3 (with 450 Mhz K6-III and SCSI),
partitioned identically on both, with the first 512 MB in one partition,
and the rest in a second.

I've got a complete system running over nfs that I used to set up my
hard disks for how I'd like to boot them.

I've got hda2 and hdc2 sporting a raid volume, hda1 is /boot and hdc1 is
swap.

On top of the RAID partition, I have LVM, so I'd like to use an initrd
to activate it than pivot over to that as root, but I can't figure out
the bootloader.

Is there any source for a full explanation of the bootloader, or does
anyone know how to get an initrd working with it?

Thanks,
Doug Mayle
