Nop, only DOC Millennium has the 512 byte SRAM area for the IPL. On power-up
the internal download logic automatically download the first page the of NAND

Possible. With the proper LinuxBIOS support for your M/B chipset, you can
totally replace your traditional BIOS + NOR flash with LinuxBIOS + Linux +
DOC Millennium combination.
