Just to add a little info here... I managed to get 2.4.1-pre10 to
build for PPC and I got enough of a clue to boot zvmlinux.  However,
(at least on the 7400 board) that kernel also seems to stop in
openpic.

I guess my question is still whether anyone has booted Linux on a
Sandpoint 7400.

Thanks,
Roland
