	Description:	

	This is just a little bit of code and data that can get prepended
	to an Etherboot ROM image in order to allow LILO to load the
	result as if it were a Linux kernel image.

	A real Linux kernel image consists of a one-sector boot loader
	(to load the image from a floppy disk), followed a few sectors
	of setup code, followed by the kernel code itself.  There's
	a table in the first sector (starting at offset 497) that indicates
	how many sectors of setup code follow the first sector and which
	contains some other parameters that aren't interesting in this
	case.

	When LILO loads the sectors that comprise a kernel image, it doesn't
	execute the code in the first sector (since that code would try to
	load the image from a floppy disk.)  The code in the first sector
	below doesn't expect to get executed (and prints an error message
	if it ever -is- executed.)  LILO's only interested in knowing the
	number of setup sectors advertised in the table (at offset 497 in
	the first sector.)

	Etherboot doesn't require much in the way of setup code.
	Historically, the Linux kernel required at least 4 sectors of
	setup code.  Current versions of LILO look at the byte at
	offset 497 in the first sector to indicate how many sectors
	of setup code are contained in the image.
