I am successfully running it on the DBAu1100 board, so I am most sure it works on the 1200 board too. No worries on that part. > YAMON> go [cut] > Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block= (1,0). You might want to try an NFS mount first, before loading a root filesystem on the Flash memory that's part of the board. Setup a root filesystem on a workstation and export it by means of NFS. You might want to take a look at debootstrap (Debian GNU/Linux), but there do exist an almost infite amount of other ways to do just that. Probably an obvious note, but I like to make it anyway: make sure you use mipsel binaries!! Next you start from YAMON in a way like this: go . ip=3D10.42.69.2 nfsroot=3D10.42.69.1:/opt/debianfs/ rw Of course you can use any IP address you like and the '/opt/debianfs/' is only a suggestion to where the just created root filesystem resides on your workstation.
