Boot loader for Sandpoint3 with UnityX4 MPC8245

Boot loader for Sandpoint3 with UnityX4 MPC8245

[Frederic Villeneuve]

Hello,

I'm looking for a boot loader for the above configuration.

So far I'm able to boot the system under DINK32, download a kernel via the
serial port and boot the kernel with a root filesystem on a hard drive.

I would like to be able to directly boot the Linux kernel when the system
powers-up.
Can anyone give me some advices on where to find a boot loader that would be
compatible with the UnityX4 and MPC8245 ?

Thanks

I've got PPCboot 1.1.5 running on mine.  I don't think Wolfgang has my
patches installed in the tree yet.  I can forward them via email if
you like.

GBIOS also is supposed to run on the Sandpoint.

That's right, the patches are still in my queue.  But  I  will  merge
them during the weekend. They should be on the CVS server by Monday.
