Philip (et al),
I have made further progress. Whilst my statically linked ash does barf,
nothing else (ie /bin/ls) does. I ended up writing a sort-of-shell myself as
I tried/tested various things. I can execute a fair range of commands, including
enough to mount and read an NCR PCI SCSI connected CD drive. I can
read the files off of it, which is kinda-cool. Thanks for the hints and tips,
there's
still a way to go but I'm certainly exercising the processor and PCI
subsystem...
