Greetings,
My current strategy for booting, while a hack, seems to work. We have a
custom SA-110 card based on the ebsa-285 which was previously running
vxWorks. What I did was hack the vxWorks netboot loader to load a Linux
kernel over the ethernet (Intel 21143) and perform the prerequisite
things to entering the kernel. This approach seems to work okay, but I
will be writing a more permanent method of booting later on. For now
(and for a quick hack), this works fine.
I'm currently struggling getting the ethernet to work correctly (all
kinds of ICMP errors and such). The interface works sporadically at
best, and stalls after it has loaded init and entered runlevel 3.
