Hi there,
I'd like to buy an iPaq or Jornada PDA and try to install NetBSD in it.
After browsing some documents, I found that both kernel and root image
are stored in CF disk.
When hpcboot is executed, the NetBSD kernel image in CF would be =
loaded.
My questions are:
1, Why some people say that the Flash in PDA would be erased after =
doing
this?
What data would be stored in it?
2, Is there any method that can put both kernel and root
image in the Flash of PDA and boot by these, like the way embedded =
Linux
PDA does?
=20
Thanks and regards,
Colin
