The steps for loading linuxbios are simple:
0) get linux installed on your LinuxBIOS machine
1) Get Linuxbios source from the sourceforge
2) get a 2.4.0-test12 kernel, patch it, then build it
2) get a 2.4.7 kernel, patch it, then build it
3) config and build linuxbios
4) Get the MTD utilities from http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/
and build the 'erase' utility

Step 2)
o go to www.kernel.org and get linux-2.4.0-test12
o go to www.kernel.org and get linux-2.4.7
o Once you have pulled this file down and untar'ed it,
apply the proper patch from the freebios/src/kernel_patches
directory. The patch is:
linux-2.4.0-test12-sis630-sisfb_lite.patch
linux-2.4.7-sis.patch
Your patch command will look like this:
cd linux_directory
patch -p1 < ~/freebios/src/kernel_patches/linux-2.4.0-test12-sis630-sisfb_lite.patch
o Now copy config-2.4.0-test12.sis to .config, then
patch -p1 < ~/freebios/src/kernel_patches/linux-2.4.7-sis.patch
o Now copy config-2.4.7-sis to .config, then
make oldconfig
make clean
make dep
