-Subject: [ANNOUNCE] LinuxBIOS boots Windows 2000, GRUB, and OpenBSD.
-
-We're happy to announce that we've been able to successfully boot
-Windows 2000 without a legacy BIOS. We accomplished this by developing
-software that combined elements from two very successful projects:
-LinuxBIOS and BOCHS. 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.) Motherboard
-support is also limited at this time, but we hope to expand that along
-with LinuxBIOS.

-Ironically, twenty years ago this month Compaq introduced their Compaq
-portable computer with the first BIOS outside of IBM, see
