Hi Ron,
Just wanted to report that your suggestion was excellent. I'm now getting serial output saying "Jumping to LinuxBIOS". It took only a few minutes to get this working so I was pleasantly surprised. :-) Thanks!
Ok, I'm now going to read a bit more about x86 booting and figure out what's next and what the memory output means.
LinuxBIOS-1.0.0 Tue Jan 11 06:22:00 IST 2005 starting... Setting up default parameters for memory Sizing memory Probing for DIMM0 Probing for DIMM1 Found DIMM1 Page Size: 00001000 Component Banks: 4 Module Banks: 2 DIMM size: 08000000 Memory sizing done, MC_BANK_CFG = 0x55200070 Copying LinuxBIOS to ram. Jumping to LinuxBIOS.
Thanks all!

your plan is fine. use the advantech pcm5823 as a model board, and use freebios, not freebios2.
Don't fit linux into the flash. Use filo and boot linux from a hard drive.
Keep me posted on how it goes and good luck.
