Hi,
I know you have written a bootloader that can load NetBSD
that works on my 
620lx. How would I go about getting it to boot Linux? E.g.
Is it just a 
config file, do I need to convert vmlinux, do I need to edit
the source, 
etc.
Thanks in advance,
Stanley

I don't know how linux kernel is linked for hpcsh.  NetBSD
uses mmu
bypass (P1) region - so the kernel is linked at 0x8c001000.
If linux uses P1 too, chances are it should "just
work".

I tried it about one year ago and it didn't work at all, maybe now that some fixes have been applied to hpcboot you'll have better luck. Tell me if you finally success. Try with the latest version:
