Hi,
Although I know, LinuxBIOS != VIA fastboot (and mainly closed source), I have no idea where can I get answer to my question (There was no success on Via forum or Google).
Since LinuxBIOS can not be compile for EPIA-MII I tried to reach my aim with fastboot (2.03). After a few hours, it seems that system is not so far from ready, but unfortunately still not finished. On the serial debug line I got the following info:
... ... ... User Routine 1:Jun 25 2004,18:02:57 VIA WINCE FastBoot/FreeBoot Loader V2.03 for EPIA-M2 Jun 25 2004,18:02:51 Zero memory:0x06000000... User Routine 2 0,1,2,3,4, Check DOC... fail.

But after this there is no any activity. Can anybody help? (Maybe this question is off-topic but I think there are other people who tried fastboot like me).
Thx,
Sza2
