First of all: Check the revision of the board and the cpu.
If you have a 860, find a cpu with revision C or later.
If you have a ADS with rev. ENG, PILOT or A you will have some trouble.
I have had linux up and running on a ADS board.
A good starting point is to read the manual and check what differs from the FADS.
I have bootcode that is based on fadsrom by Dan Malek.
It is kind of a mess right now, but it should support both
the ADS and the FADS board using 860(t).
It loads a zImage or vmlinux from a ATA-FLASH or the onboard flash-simm.
It understands ext2 and dos.
No network support, though.
I can mail the source to anyone who is interested.
You will need a linux source tree and a (cross)compiler.
But I have no time for answers.
Good luck /
