Hello
To introduce myself I am Raghunandan from Bangalore India. You can
address me as Raghu.
I have downloaded linux kernel 2.2.14, I have a flash board which
has a 4 flash roms each of 512KB size each, This flash board has been
plugged into ISA slot of the PC.
The linux kernel image is of size 0.6MB.
Now I want to embed this in the flash roms on the flash board and boot the
computer with linux.
I know how to prom the linux image.
Please let me know what are the changes that needs to be done in the linux
source or boot code so that it boots from the Eprom.
I hope I have clearly explained the problem statement,
Thank you very much for your help
