Boot loader for Sandpoint3 with UnityX4 MPC8245

From: Frederic Villeneuve <hidden>

Hello,

I'm looking for a boot loader for the above configuration.

So far I'm able to boot the system under DINK32, download a kernel via the
serial port and boot the kernel with a root filesystem on a hard drive.

I would like to be able to directly boot the Linux kernel when the system
powers-up.
Can anyone give me some advices on where to find a boot loader that would be
compatible with the UnityX4 and MPC8245 ?

Thanks

I've got PPCboot 1.1.5 running on mine.  I don't think Wolfgang has my
patches installed in the tree yet.  I can forward them via email if
you like.

GBIOS also is supposed to run on the Sandpoint.
