 File overview:
 
-elfload/
-	Obsolete Linux-based ELF loader. This used to allow loading NetWatch
-from within an already-running kernel; it could be updated to work with the
-current memory layout, but is nonfunctional at the moment. See grubload/ for
-the preferred loader.
-
 grubload/
-	This is a multiboot-compliant simple ELF loader, for use with NetWatch
-aseg.elf images or similar. It loads its input file (passed via multiboot),
-invokes the startup routines, and then returns to real mode and starts the
-bootloader again.

 Porting NetWatch to other systems will likely require:
-- A network driver, if you don't have a 3c905 (net/3c90x.c)
-- A video driver, if you are interested in graphics rather than VGA text,
-  and don't have an NVidia TNT2. (video/tnt2.c)
-- North- and southbridge drivers for your chipset. (ich2/)

 We have found that Intel generally provides easily-accessible chipset
 datasheets on their website; searching for a particular ICH series part on
-Google will likely lead to the correct datasheet without too much trouble.
-Other chipset manufacturers are likely to be significantly less cooperative.
