I´ve just completed an small piece of Hardware. Only a 486 16mb EDO an UART. Everything put together on a small pcb-board. Then modified Openbios a little bit, loaded it into a ROM-emulator and go!
*COOL*! The machine boots, complains about the missing RTC (who needs an rtc?), tests the mem ... and then executes :
for (;;);
Ok for that. - but can somebody tell me what I have to do to get a Linuxkernel loaded ? I intend to put an 16bit latch on the isabus and connect a flashdisk there ...
I could write C code to load the kernel image from the first, say, 1k blocks of the disk. But where do I put this image and how I´m gonna start it ?
Please someone gimme a hint on that. I´ll submit the loadcode Ive done then back to this group ... maybe someone wants to use it ?
Regards, Jake
