Hi Paul!
I would like to make a complete list of the methods people use to boot the PPC/Linux kernel on different platforms. As a start, here is what I can think of off the top of my head:
I have a Motorola PowerStack "Series E" PReP machine. I can boot the zImage.prep from a "PPC PReP Boot" partition (type 41) having written it to that partition using the dd command. The PPCBug firmware has also the following options. I have only tested booting from floppy. - boot zImage from floppy disk, CD or tape (also directly written to it) - network boot (tftp) Nilz -- http://www.hoschi.de/nilz (Nilz' Homepage) ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list.
