It means what it says. You need to get the ARM patch from:
ftp://ftp.arm.linux.org.uk/pub/armlinux/kernel-sources/v2.2/patch-2.2.10-rmk3.gz
and apply it to linux-2.2.10 to get an ARM kernel tree.

You don't need an EBSA285 specific distribution, the NetWinder, Debian,
or Titan (I would recommend the latter) distributions should work on it.

Isn't the DOAC driver a binary module for x86? ISTR somebody was
developing an Open Source one, but I don't know how far that got. You may
well be better using something which pretends to be an IDE disk (such as
Compact Flash).

No, any Arm Linux questions are acceptable here.
