[ECOS] Close but no cigar

[Chuck McManis <ecos at mcmanis dot com>]

So I've got GRUB installed on my flash drive, figured I'd see if I could 
get the to work first, and work backwards. Long story short, Grub won't 
load my redboot.elf file.

In menu.lst I added

#
# Start Redboot
#
title Redboot (ECOS)
root (hd0,0,a)
kernel /ecos/redboot
savedefault

I've also got FreeBSD on the flash now (proved to myself Grub could boot 
something) and its an alternative option.

When I select redboot I get the message
-------------------------------------------------------------
root(hd0,0,a)
  Filesystem type is ufs2, partition type is 0xa5

kernel /ecos/redboot.elf
[Multiboot-elf, <0x108000:0xdd80:0x73c4>, shtab=0x11e2a8(bad)

Error 28: Selected item cannot fit into memory

-------------------------------------------------------------

Basically created a basic redboot with
ecosconfig new pc redboot

edited ecos.ecc and added GRUB startup option then
ecosconfig tree
gmake

(no errors reported)

And transferred the resulting redboot.elf file over to the flash. An 
objdump on my FreeBSD machine shows :

demon - % objdump -h redboot.elf

redboot.elf:     file format elf32-i386-freebsd
