Hi!
I've managed to get the mop server up and running. I can confirm the
previous findings about the hardware address of the SGEC. It seems
to report the address as beeing ef:ef:ef:ef:ef:ef, which obviously
isn't right. Mopd refuses to find the bootfile unless i use b/100,
and as previously reported, refuses to work the at the first attempt.
It seems as mopd doesn't get the address right either, even though
the debug output reports the correct address.

I wasn't able to boot the kernel. This is what happened:
