New as of 3/20/00: Success!
We're now booting linux out of NVRAM. It gets to the point of wanting to mount a disk, and since I have no disk attached to the motherboard it naturally dies. It seems to properly configure the PCI bus, and finds the Ethernet and other devices and configures them. So now I need to go grab an IDE disk and get it the rest of the way up ...
Oen remaining problem is speed. I have caching enabled but it takes a very long time to get the gunzip done. I figure there is some other bit I need to set ... I'll do that one later. For now, it's time to attach an IDE disk and see how it goes.
