SYNOPSIS

command line] [--kernel=
path to vmlinux] [--ramdisk=
path to ramdisk] [--output=
file] [--ramdisk-base=<start addr>]
DESCRIPTION
mkelfImage is a program that makes a elf boot image for linux kernel
images. The image should work with any i386 multiboot compliant boot loader,
an
ELF bootloader that passes no options, a loader compliant with the linuxBIOS
elf booting spec or with the linux kexec kernel patch. A key feature
here is that nothing relies upon
BIOS calls, but they are made when
necessary. This is useful for systems running linuxbios.
BUGS
Not all kernel parameters can be passed with the multiboot image format.
ip configuration is not automatically passed to a node.
The ramdisk base is hard coded to 8MB by default.
This man page need to be updated.
