The Etherboot project also helped in various ways. - -As a result now, we have a completely open source replacement for the -BIOS that can use (without modification) either LILO or GRUB as -bootloaders, and Linux, OpenBSD, and Windows 2000 as operating systems -(NOTE: We're still working on supporting FreeBSD and Windows XP. We -expect that improving ATA support will permit Win98 and WinXP to boot, -and finishing PIRQ support will permit FreeBSD to boot.)
