etherboot startup from lilo, and hdparm for spinning down disk.

[Torstein Dybdahl <torsted@runbox.no>]

Hi
I have put together a somewhat usable solution for installing and 
setting up etherboot starting from a harddisk.

Using
tomsrtbt, lilo binary, some shell scripting
i am able to install etherboot onto a harddisk making a ltsp-klient 
start from the harddisk.

After adding hdparm to /opt/ltsp/i386/sbin
i am also able to turn the harddisk off.

I have made a small howto available on
developer.skolelinux.no/~torsted/

Have not made the howto for lilo install in english.

I have found this very smart, saving money on ethernetcards, my school 
is on a very tight budget.

With this solution we can use the cheap rtl8139 networkcards in 
ltspclients with harddisk.

If someone finds this interesting or have some other opinion, please 
tell me.

PS. I will try to transelate the lilo howto if someone wants to.

Regards
Torstein
