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. - -More details can be found at: - -http://www.missl.cs.umd.edu/Projects/sebos/main.shtml - -and - -http://www.missl.cs.umd.edu/Projects/sebos/phase2.shtml - -Ironically, twenty years ago this month Compaq introduced their Compaq -portable computer with the first BIOS outside of IBM, see -http://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?st=1&c=547 . - -Adam Sulmicki -Adam Agnew -William Arbaugh - -This work has been funded by a grant from DARPA under the CHATS program. |
