This is the Milo 2.2 release

 What is MILO?

   On Intel based PC systems, the BIOS firmware sets up the system and
   then loads the image to be run from the boot block of a DOS file
   system.  This is more or less what MILO does on an Alpha based system,
   however there are several interesting differences between BIOS
   firmware and MILO, not least of which is that MILO includes and uses
   standard Linux device drivers unmodified.  MILO is firmware, unlike
   LILO, which relies on the BIOS firmware to get itself loaded.

 About this release

   This version is based on the Milo-2.0.35-c7b sources of Nikita
   Schmidt , which are available on ftp://genie.ucd.ie/pub/alpha/milo/
   Please do rather send me bug reports than using the Milo 2.0, as
   there won't be any updates to the old version anymore.
   Please send me any positive or negative test reports.
   This version is known to work on LX164, SX164, Ruffian, Miata,
   but no successful tests on XL/XLT until now?

   This is not really a generic milo, but it doesn't need a platform
   specific kernel anymore. Building for non-generic kernels needs 
   some minor makefile tweaks or rather a clean Makefile rewrite.

 To compile it:

    * you have to build a generic kernel
	NOTE: Please look at the kernel's .config file in
	milo-2.2/Documentation/config/Linux-* to get a working
	config. DO NOT compile modules or sysctl support in.

    * and then a specific Milo.

   Please note: These sources are currently working/tested on Ruffian,
   LX164, Avanti. It is untested on most other platforms.

   To compile a complete set of milos for all platforms, you can use
   the build script tools/scripts/build.

 Software Requirements:

   * Kernel 2.2.x. You should use at least a 2.2.18 Kernel.
     Currently I use Linux 2.2.19 plus the SuSE patch set.
   * binutils: Should work with any recent binutils. 
     binutils 2.11.90.0.8 seemed to work fine for me. 
   * Compiler: I suggest at least gcc 2.96 as it is packed
     with SuSE 7.1 or Redhat 7.1. I used gcc 3.0 CVS during
     development.

   Have fun and please send me thousands of comments....

   Many thanks to Ruediger Oertel, Nikita Schmidt and Jay
   Estabrook for their never ending help :)
