Hi,
I have at last managed to get LinuxBIOS to load and boot a 2.4.2 kernel out
of a DoC Millenium on STPC devices. I now want to go ahead and create a root
filesystem on the DoC. Does anyone have any tips as to the way that this
should be done:-
I assume the following:
I am using say the first 1M of the DoC for LinuxBIOS and kernel.
I can go ahead and format the balance of the DoC (7M) using nftl_format from
MTD, create a partition, create an ext2 filesystem and populate it with
required files. Also I have included a command line argument root=/dev/nftla
in the LinuxBIOS code.
I get the following:

VFS: Cannot open root device "nftla" or 5d:00
Please append a correct "root=" boot option

Not the comment 'Could not find a valid boot record'
How do I create a valid boot record?
Thanks in advance
