This is a tool for building a simple TFTP boot loader
which embodies several kernel images for different Sun
architectures and a ramdisk root image. To minimize
memory usage, the images are gzipped. After starting
the boot loader, the architecture is detected, 
the appropriate kernel is unpacked and then the
booting procedure is launched.

How to build the boot image:

1. Prepare a kernel image for each supported architecture
   (in the ELF format). Currently, TILO expects two kernels
   - for Sun4c/m/d and Sun4u. However, it will be possible
   to add Sun4 support in the future as well.

2. Prepare a root image for the initial ramdisk.

3. Run the "tilo" script with the following parameters:

tilo <Sun4c/m/d kernel> <Sun4u kernel> <root image> <TILO image>

A boot image will be created which contains everything
necessary to boot on each architecture.

This code can be used and distributed freely
