Psos bootrom booting Linux-ppc is that possible, done?

[Subodh Nijsure]

Hello,

I got a MPC860 FADS board for which I just now got a PSOS based
bootrom.

Has anybody been successful in booting Linux from a pSOS bootrom?

Any pointers will be much appriciated
[ I have done the usual web searches to see if there is already something
about
this on the web..]

Thanks!

Never tried, never will.

The FADS860 is one of the boards wich are supported  by  PPCBoot.  If
you're  looking for a powerful and convenient way to run Linux on you
board you should give it a try.

The PPCBoot project page is at http://ppcboot.sourceforge.net/  where
you  can  also find the CVS server with the latest source versions, a
user's mailing list is at <ppcboot-users@lists.sourceforge.net> , and
if you're looking for tarballs you can find them in
ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/ppcboot/

Hi Subodh,

I have same problm (FADS & MPC860) and PPCBOOT works fine.. but I'm can not,

Maybe we can change some informations..
