linuxbios.rom or romimage. It is important that the romimage be at the very end of the rom. > * There are some utilities that I dont know what they do eg. makerom, > mkflashimg, mkelfImage.

Should I embedd some sort of bootloader into the flash rom or? There is a small embedded IDE driver. It isn't very good but it should get the job done. Bootloaders in the flash is the general procedure. > Sorry to bother you with these newbie questions, but it seems to be the only > way :) If you learn we don't mind :) Eric
