hi onguard,
ok, lets make this as easy as possible for you to understand.
When you buy your modchip (whatever sort you buy) it is shipped with a LEGAL BIOS called the 'cromwell bios'.. This LEGAL BIOS allows your xbox to boot xbox linux applications and the xbox linux operating system. THATS ALL YOU CAN DO WITH THE MODCHIP IN THIS STATE.
When you first install your modchip and turn on your xbox you will need to flash your modchip with a new bios.. You do this by burning a BIOS.BIN file to a CDRW/DVD-R and booting it in your xbox..
REMEMBER:
Mosts xboxes dont read cd-r.. EXCEPT FOR SAMSUNG DVD ROM DRIVES.
so. Really i think you need to burn a BIOS CD and put it in your xbox and boot.
Realmccloy already has a bios cd available for download:
