Hi Gerard,

I can let you have patches to MontaVista's Hard Hat 2.0 Linux 2.0
Journeyman release for the MVME2100 - I have it running, using PPCBug for
network (tftp) booting.  The configuration also allows for blowing a boot
image into flash, but I've not actually tested that.  I haven't tested the
PMC or PC-MIP slots either, so there may still be some hardware
configuration issues.

I haven't looked at VME bridge software properly yet (this port is only a
background project for me), but would be interested in other people's
thoughts about this - there appear to be several possibilities, but I
haven't looked at them in detail.
