The other option here, is to put a kernel into FLASH. Google around for bugboot, but IIRC, it's just a matter of 'make zImage', and then normal mojo for writing a binary into the FLASH to boot, ensuring you use zImage.bugboot, not zImage.prpmc800, or whatever. -- Tom Rini (TR1265) http://gate.crashing.org/~trini/ ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
