Loadlin is certainly not the way to go. It wastes overhead, and you
have you kernel on the dos partition, where anyone can mangle with it.
Why are people so uptight about LiLo anyway ?? I am happily working with
it. Yes, it is not too easy to work with, and you can't give real
boot:
options, or chose the kernel to boot dynamically(like SunOS, Solaris and
BSDi), but it is easy to install, and works.
