3rd Berkeley Distribution                         RELEASE_DATE                                     MKELFIMAGE(8)

Bugs

       Not all kernel parameters can be passed with  the  multiboot  image  format.   ip  configuration  is  not
       automatically passed to a node.  The ramdisk base is hard coded to 8MB by default.  This man page need to
       be updated.

Description

mkelfImage is a program that makes a elf boot image for linux kernel images.  The image should work  with
       any  i386  multiboot  compliant boot loader, an ELF bootloader that passes no options, a loader compliant
       with the linuxBIOS elf booting spec or with the linux kexec kernel patch.  A key  feature  here  is  that
       nothing  relies  upon  BIOS  calls, but they are made when necessary.  This is useful for systems running
       linuxbios.
