3.2. What does PALO?  The main idea is to boot a kernel, passing
it all needed parameters. This is what the boot loader part of
PALO does (see Section 3.4). Once it has been called by the
firmware, it will load the Linux Kernel in memory, passing to it
the given arguments, and tell the processor to branch to its
entry point. This will begin the execution of the kernel on the
PA-RISC computer.  The PALO management tool can transform the
usual vmlinux into a PA-RISC bootable lifimage, including or not
RAMDISK or NFSROOT support. However, it can also make a hard
disk drive bootable, specifying the console output and the root
device. We are going to see all these points precisely.   What
must be kept in mind is that vmlinux is the kernel alone, which
is not bootable as is. It needs PALO to be turned into a
bootable lifimage for CD or network boot, or to be loaded at
boot time from a prepared hard disk drive. Have a look at
