DOCBoot only runs on intel hardware. In fact it only runs on intel
hardware with a somewhat standard PC configuration, namely a standard
BIOS which supplies certain functionality. Also, the Linux bootloading
process is very specific to i386. I would guess that a variant of
DOCBoot for ARM/xscale would probably be a complete rewrite. Sorry :(
