  A very good question, my "hack" for this down in Nerang this weekend
was to use DOS drivers to initialise the hardware and jump into Linux
via loadlin.
  Worked out reasonably well, once I debugged my scripts since I could not
fall back onto LILO (>1024 cyl) and I couldn't determine a way to convince
Linux I have 126M of memory (yes 126M) using rdev.
