[syslinux] "pre-OS"

[n schembr]

Thank you for the kboot info.  kboot looks good. syslinux  and kboot  will make a good team.   
I have not tried it yet but kboot looks like a ultra mini distro.  My guess is less then 5 meg. It looks like It might make a good boot loader for Xen systems.  You can give your customer a guest with Kboot as a base system for them to load with. Looks very cool.

I'm going to see If i can use voyage-linux for this same type of thing.  Use voyage as  a flash based bootloader for Debian. 

I can have syslinux boot the flash drive. 
I can have the voyage-linux system boot automatically with console=/dev/ttyUSB0.
Then I can boot Debian with init 1 console=/dev/ttyUSB0.

This will allow me to boot init 1  over ssh or the Usb serial port.  It sure looks like this will  keep me from having a remote rock on other side of the Net.
