Hi
Is there anyone who knows about any bootmanager
and/or program that can boot NetBSD directly
from DOS.
The problem is that we cannot use the graphics
capabilities of our 800x400 TFT display unless
we execute a MSDOS program that initializes
the graphics adapter. This initialization
doesn't "stay" when we reboot the computer
with CTRL+ALT+DEL. Thus a program that can
boot NetBSD directly from DOS probably
would solve our problems (a la LILO, the
Linux equivalent). I suppose that LILO is
out of the question, or?
Any ideas?
