No errors.  bzImage is loaded as verified by tcpump/ethereal, but blank
screen afterwords.  Nothing executes!  Perhaps I have a misconfiguration in
my default file in pxelinux.cfg?  I note in yours that rather than
specifiying an initrd.img you specify /sbin/init.  It's not clear why.  Can
you explain?

Also, I took a step back and redid my tftpboot setup so that it looks like
so:

DEFAULT linux
SERIAL 0 9600
LABEL linux
KERNEL vmlinuz.tsl3
APPEND vga=normal initrd=ramdisk.cramfs ramdisk_size=27400 root=/dev/ram0
devfs=mount,dall rw console=ttyS0$
IPAPPEND 1

where ramdisk.cramfs and vmlinuz.tsl3 come from the TSL3.0 CD.

I figured I would try to install from scratch -- I have some spare CF cards.


I get the following:

Then the nothing more.  I figure that the installer does not know how to
deal with this embedded system with only one serial port, ttyS0.


I will keep plugging away.  One way or another I am determined to get TSL on
this system!

Cheers,

Bruce
