This thing already has a Boot-ROM which initializes the hardware, puts the processor into protected mode and lets me download a kernel image into Flash via FTP. Unfortunately it does not have a BIOS, so LILO or GRUB are of no use to me (I suppose). Has anyone some good pointers, or even example code, on how to set up kernel parameters and jump into the kernel? I already looked at LILO or the Linux Bootsector, but something far simpler and less flexible with compiled-in parameters would be sufficient. Surely someone has done this before?!? I hope that this list is the right place to ask. bye...
