We can just place kexecboot kernel+initramfs there ;) Sharp Zaurus machines have similar partitioning. You may look here: http://www.h5.dion.ne.jp/~rimemoon/zaurus/memo_006.htm http://www.h5.dion.ne.jp/~rimemoon/zaurus/pic/nandmap.jpg It have 2 kernels. First is common kernel, second (+initrd) is maintenance kernel which provide upgrading environement. -- Yury Bushmelev _______________________________________________ Qi Hardware Discussion List Mail to list (members only): [email protected] Subscribe or Unsubscribe: http://lists.en.qi-hardware.com/mailman/listinfo/discussion
