That looks good so far.   The next thing you want to see is
the Linux banner "Linux version ...".

I would not change KERNELLOAD.

Are you using any additional ram?  I had an additional DIMM on my
board, and I had to hack arch/ppc/mbxboot/head.S to set up BR2/OR2
because EPPC-Bug didn't recognize my DIMM.

You should be using the Monta Vista tools.  You might want to
compare your .config to mine,

Make sure you have your bootp and NFS (for root fs) servers ready when
the board finally boots.

Hi,
    We are using MBX8xx Board with 16 Mb RAM without any DIMM.

    We  are using tools provided by Embedded Development Kit by RedHat.

    I compared your .config with mine and lots of differences are there..

    But my .config should also work, right...

    bye
