hello,

I am trying to get the ppc kernel loaded on a 750-based embedded board,
and I've got an ultra-basic bootloader (the board is not PReP or
CHRP-compliant), but I believe I am having trouble with the BAT
mappings.

I have the BATs configure (by the bootloader) such that 0xc0000000
(virtual) is mapped to 0x00000000 (phys SDRAM base), but after
the image is decompressed (to the virtual addr), I get garbage when
I do a dump at 0xc0000000 (i.e. the kernel isn't there.)

I am executing the bootloader itself out of a region well above
(4MB) the kernel space.

Before I spend too much time reinventing the wheel (and beating my
head against the wall), I was curious if there was a 7xx-based
bootloader out there that I could modify to fit my needs.

Any other pointers/tips regarding machine state required on a 750
prior to jumping to the kernel would also be appreciated.

Regards,
Tim
