[ale] LOBOS:Linux Bios

[Eric Z. Ayers]

Well, that is pretty much what is being done... Linux is being put in
flash, but you may  routinely want to upgrade the kernel you run off
of, while you probably won't want to reflash the bios in your machine
very often.

So the idea is to put a 'stable' version of linux into flash that can
boot another version of linux that resides on disk or is fetched from
the network, or what have you.
