I left angel in image 0 in the flash, and let it load the bios from another flash
image pointed to by the selector switch (that's why the bios is in AIF format).
It was necessary to link the bios at a address different the one specified in the
readme file  (TEXTADDR = 0x410000C0 + bank * 0x00040000 rather than 0x410000A0).

Also note that if you are using a pci-only backplane, the ISA initialization code
will hang the bios. I tried boot the kernel via the network, but the bios hangs
during opening of the network card. Haven't had time to play with it since.

Regards,
Chris
