Re: Can compile, now on to booting

Ahhh -- I was hoping that somebody would have some thoughts like that.
 Could someone send me a copy of vxhack.c ?  The link in the FAQ (
ftp://ftp.mvista.com/pub/Area51/ppc-8xx/vxhack.c  ) doesn't have
anything anymore....

thanks,
dave.

I did this once on a mpc860 board.  It involved running the uncompressed
kernel image through vxhack.c from Dan Malek with a few fixes since the
segments seemed to have moved around.  The VxWorks loader would then
load the hacked image through bootp or tftp.  I also had to have one of
the Linux bootloader files initialize a bd_t structure.  I was able to
poke around in memory and find where the VxWorks loader was keeping the
environment.
