This is Version 1.3 of linload, the ARC loader program for Linux/Alpha. This version is required if you are running a system which uses AlphaBIOS rather than ARC console. Previous versions of linload attempted to load MILO at a fixed address which would cause AlphaBIOS to crash. Version 1.3 actually searches the system memory map to find a suitable free location to load MILO. Summary of changes since 1.2: - Uses system memory map to find free memory for loading MILO - Accepts either a filename or a directory spec for the MILO path. If it is a directory spec, linload searches for "milo" in the specified directory. This is for compatibility with those versions of AlphaBIOS that *only* accept a directory spec for OSLOADFILENAME. - Searches for MILO in the same partition from which linload was loaded. Again, this is for compatibility with those versions of AlphaBIOS which allow SYSTEMPARTITION to be any valid FAT partition but which require OSLOADPARTITION to be a genuine Windows NT installation. This does introduce a small restriction with respect to earlier versions of linload.exe, but this should have minimal impact.
