| .BI tilo |
| 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. |
