sbc8240 board bring up

["Hammond, Jean-François"]

Hi Ron,

I did not bring up the board with the linux bios,
but I finally print a message on the serial port.

I am beginning the linux bios porting now.

I got some questions first :

1 - Does linux bios needs any special memory
mapping, memory settings ?

2 - Do I need to use address translation on the PCI ?

3 - Is there any special settings to use a video card ?
(Yes,  I got one.) 3D Blaster Banshee :-)

I can't see why.

Let's not go after that problem just yet.
