We started a couple of weeks ago and have a bootloader running. The bootl=
oader
was written in c++ and can load the kernel via tftp over a FCC eithernet =
port.

I am working on a driver for the smc as a console serial port and will th=
en work
on an a driver for the FCC eithernet port.=20

Our goal is to build a flash image of NetBSD and boot from the flash into=
 a
ramdisk. The system will be completly embedded.

I am developing on an EST SBC8260 but the final product will run on an Mi=
crosys
PM826.

I would greatly apreciate any code contributed, and my understanding is w=
e will
post our code as soon as it is stable.

Thanks in advance
