Hello! Does anyone know a bootloader for the MPC860ADS board, which supports booting Linux using BOOTP and TFTP to get the kernel and using NFS for the root file system? Currently I´m trying to get the board running using 8xxROM from Raphael Bossek, but unfortunately my ADS board has only 2MB flash (not enough for a ROM_DISK option) and I have no PCMCIA flash card. BTW: Wherefrom can I get a root filesystem if I buy a ATA flash card? How big should this flash card be? Is a Sandisk compact flash with a PCMCIA adapter ok? Is there any alternative for my limited flash memory? (Put the kernel in the flash, but mount the root filesystem with NFS?). Best regards, Thomas. ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
