To see if I could get Linux to run on our MPC5200 board I politely asked the vxWorks bootloader to boot the Linux kernel via ftp. It worked. I used the Denx kernel for the Lite5200. I had to compile the kernel with good default parameters (ip address, nfsroot, serial setup etc.) as I couldn't make the vxWorks bootsector parse kernel parameters. It was a good and very easy way to demonstrate that Linux could run on our board.
