initrd and isofs for arcboot would be valuable, too. > I think the decstations use the other way around embedding the initrd > into the kernel during kernel build time, which should be simpler to get > started. This has changed the last days, delo has now t-rex to create tftp images in a way similiar to tip22, and initrd support for delo to boot a minimal system from local media. Thiemo
