 Is it possible to not run Amithilon off CD, and boot it up from Linux instead? How exactly does this work, I've seen a tutorial to boot it from DOS, but screw that!

It's certainly possible. The Amithlon emulation is a Linux kernel, so it can be booted from Lilo or Grub just as any Linux distribution is.
My Lilo.conf Amithlon boot section looks like this....

image=/boot/new_emubox.gz
label=amithlon
root=/dev/ram0
initrd=/boot/smallird.gz
append="init=/linuxrc console_level=0 ramdisk_size=2310 leavepages=5200"
vga=769
read-only

Of course /boot/smallird.gz is copied from the Amithlon CD and /boot/new_emubox.gz is the new kernel that was available from Bernie's site. The older kernel on the CD will of course boot your machine.
