May day, May day; DoC2000 with Flash How-to!!

["Madhav Kandhikonda" <madhavonline@indiainfo.com>]

hello2all,

I am a new member to this list. I am in deep trouble and am 
seeking your suggestions/help. My problem is:-

DoC-2000 (96 MB) & Toshiba Flash (96 MB) How-To 
***********************************************

I have these devices on a VIA C3 powered 533 MHz ENDAT board. 
To my horror, this board has only ONE IDE port. 

My objectives are to perform these tasks:-

a) DoC2000 as Boot device
b) Flash as Storage device

Here are my problems for which am looking suggestions:-

Till now I have put these efforts
*********************************

a) Unplugged Flash from the IDE port, and connected
   a Hard Disk to that IDE Port with CD ROM drive. 
b) Tried to install Linux on DoC2000, ended in errors
d) Since I don't have additional board, I have no clue
   how to install Linux on Flash Chip
3) Before that, I need to install Linux on DoC2000

I am in total mess, I lost 1 full week in this process

Installation Environment
************************

a) Red Hat Linux 7.2 & 7.3
b) Kernels 2.4.18-3; 2.4.18-27.8.0
c) Doc2000 driver version 5.1.4
d) Boot Loader LILO version 22.5.3-1; 22.5.4
e) gcc version 2.96-110 

What am I looking from you
**************************

==> How to make DoC2000 as Boot device
==> How to make Flash device as Storage device
==> EXT3 or JFFS2 for Flash File system? 
==> How to use GRUB instead of troublesome LILO

**By using only ONE IDE port for these 2 devices**

I have tried very hard with all combinations of 
OS & Kernel, all in vain! I would be grateful, if 
one of you could expain in steps. I have just 
ONE day & ONE night left:(:( 

Lastly, I have read your etiquette to go through 
the archives to search for my problem. I don't have
enough time, hope you understand; Thank You:)


Regards,

Madhav
