Loader(8) runs using BIOS services, and loads the kernel from any drive that BIOS recognizes. It has also been enhanced with PXE knowledge, so he can load from that to. I think that your best bet would be booting loader instead of a kernel. If your BIOS project recognizes the flash card as a disk, accessible with normal BIOS functions, then loader can work as is (minus whatever you need modified). If not, it can be changed to understand whatever you have to access the data in the flash card. Anyway, booting straight to kernel is a bad idea nowadays for many reasons. -- Daniel C.
