[ECOS] n00b PC booting questions

[Steve West]

Sorry,
    Did not scroll the email all the way.

Yes, Grub will load all the gdt idt and startup properly. We link the app 
with eCos and run a gnu util something like objdump? to convert from elf to 
binary. I think that the gdb will work fine if you include this along with 
the network. I guess if you need to load the app dynamic you would need 
redboot.
