RE: Xen bootloader (was: Re: [Xen-devel] Xen Roadmap proposal)

You need to make sure the format can be handle by kexec. It could handle
elf, linux kernel, grub.exe (for multiboot?), ...

Maybe it is off topic.
I am considering to use LinuxBIOS in hvmloader...then it could only
support Linux ( with etherboot and FILO can load kernel from network or
HD then kexec ). I can reuse LinuxBIOS ACPI code ...

If the guest OS need BIOS call, we may need to use ADLO and BOCHS to
feed the OS....----for windows and BSDs...

It sounds like this is only going to be usable to boot Linux?
