Booting from PCMCIA CD-ROM



Chris,

Can you please add a note to the documentation about booting from a
PCMCIA CD-ROM.  While you can load the kernel just fine, you will
later have a problem since PCMCIA is not loaded and the rest cannot be
read from CD.  There's an easy solution, though.  When you pass
ide2=0x180,0x386 to the kernel, the PCMCIA CD-ROM is recognized as a
normal IDE CD-ROM which can then be mounted.  Can you please document
this trick in chapter 5.2.

Thanks.
