Thanks for the fast response as always! Sorry, but I have to respin
this patch due to I've found 3 typos (REAME.x86, aginst,
u-boot-dtb.in) myself this morning. I must have had my brain cells
tired last night :-<

I am using zboot to boot a kernel bzImage with initramfs and nfs
mounted as root. I have not tried to boot any distro out there.

I will have a look. If we consider supporting syslinux, how about
other bootloaders like grub?
