Hi,

after reading through the archives I am still a bit confused about a few
issues. It is my intention to get Linux to run on the EBSA in host mode
on a back plain without a hard drive.

Thus,

- is a bootloader necessary when the flash is programmed directly with
the kernel image (= objdump'ed elf; what about compressed kernels) ? Or
are there any hardware initialization steps necessary before the kernel
can boot (what are they ?)

- Can Russell's bootloader be used to boot a kernel from flash (or only
via TFTP) ?

- What should happen after the kernel booted ? Am I right in the
assumption that the only way to execute init etc. is via an NFS mounted
root partition (or has anyone  made it work disklessly) ?


Answers on the above questions will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Chris
