Subject: [suse-axp] MILO in UDB Flash

    I'm running an old Multia/UDB. (SuSE 7.1, 2.4.16-pre1[3 hour compile],
    80MB RAM, 166MHz, no floppy)

    It is important that I get MILO into flash.

    Reason:
    This is because I am going with a large/cheap IDE drive instead of the
    old LOUD external SCSI drives that I've had. This sounds bad
    performance-wise, but I have installed a Promise Ultra 66 EIDE
    controller that I had laying around in the one PCI slot. With my tests
    it is just as fast or maybe slightly faster than a drive hooked to the
    SCSI controller. To go external SCSI less, *I need to boot off of hde*!
     To do this I must have MILO in flash.

    After MUCH searching I've picked up the Milo 2.2 and 2.2.19-SuSE of
    Stefan Reinauer's. (thank you) I've got them compiled etc with a small
    change so I can boot the *hde* device. It works!

    I was brave last night, I 'run sda1:fmu.gz' then I ram 'program'.
     Nothing blew up. I rebooted. I still get the ARC console. It was my
    impression that this would blow away the ARC console.

    Please let me know how I can run MILO from the flash.

    Thanks for any help,
