I followed the 4.9 install procedure and it seems to have worked! I used linux dlplus and the teeny loader that comes with it.
Now I'm going over the docs to *use* it. I don't even know how to load an option rom yet. I don't know how to excercise it either, like a memory test to test all of the flash etc. So far all I've done is install and run the initial backup. But so far so good. It went through every step in the 4.9 install doc with no unexpetcted events. Twice actually, both boards. Thank you very much for creating this insane thing! I am amazed by what all goes into it. -- bkw On Sun, Feb 19, 2017 at 7:05 PM, Brian White <[email protected]> wrote: > I just noticed I was doing 2 things completely bone-headed before.
