hi!

i came close to getting the kernel to boot but no go :(

i got the kernel from the howto page and hpcboot from
netbsd-current/sys/arch/hpc/stand/binary/ARM/ and got everything ready.

in the first stage everything looks ok

open file "\Storage Card\netbsd"(2277559 byte).

kernel entry address: 0xc0100000 
framebuffer: 640x240 type=5 linebytes=1280 addr=0x48200000 
console = 2

but then nothing more happens after that :( i've seen other posts with
similar things but i don't really see what the solution is.

the kernel and hpcboot are on a CF card, which just has the one (windoze?)
filesystem on it, but i understand this is ok? i don't have any fs yet, i just
wanted to see the kernel boot first.

i've also tried setting hpcboot to use "jornada 720 (japanese)" as i saw in
another post but still get the same results.

also could anyone suggest any docs or info about setting up a root fs, and
how to format my CF to provide it? i saw the link to a dd image but i don't
know how to put this on or how the 32mb image would affect my 128mb card.

thanks!

tom.
