As i figured out, there is a ROM on it with a mini-Linux, that will
look for an ext2/ext3 filesystem and for an /vmlinux.bz2 on /boot.
Then it boots from there. This is really strange and seems to rule out
FreeBSD completely.
Looks like you'll have to rewrite /boot/loader sources to
1) access disk with it's "minilinux" interface, or directly by hardware
2) to look like vmlinux image. If it's ELF - should not be a problem, if
not - look how linux kernel makefile convert ELF to this format and do the
same.
This ROM code may do some assumption where to load image in memory. If so
- you have to link if to the same address.
Not easy way i think but not that difficult if you can write C programs.
However, I can't believe that noone on earth hadn't FreeBSD running
on it :-)
Any hint would be appreciated. As an alternative, i could live with
OpenBSD/NetBSD too.
i would even prefer linux than those ;)
