Because it should be an embedded system I do not want use a standard BIOS like desktop pc (I need a very fast boot). Instead I want load linux direct with a small ROM routine from the DiskOnChip (this small routine do the system initializing, too). So my question: > > > > Is this possible with the MTD software?

We have just successfully boot Linux with LinuxBIOS + Doc Millennium on SiS 630. The whole system has only DoC Millennium as its sotrage device. No HD nor any other flash device is required. We can even put a tiny file system to run Microwindows "mdemo" demo program. If things go fine, we will demo this in ALS. Ollie To unsubscribe, send "unsubscribe mtd" to majordomo@infradead.org
