I've finished making changes to the boot loader so that it can load
from hard drives and hard-drive partitions.  

  < ftp://ftp.buici.com/pub/ecos/bootstrap >

It turned out that the reason it wouldn't boot from hard drives
straight away was a bug in the check for the end of a cylinder.  The
original check didn't honor the upper two bits as high-order track
bits.  All better.

Cheers,
 Marc
