[Etherboot-developers] booting linux from Flash ROM

[Raghunandan N. <rag...@wi...>]

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 embedded in the Flash ROMs.

I have the following questions.
1.  Please let me know what are the changes i need to do in the kernel
source code so that it boots from Flash ROM. And also any other steps i need
to undertake.

2.  At what locations should the boot loader start, the OS should be
located.

3. Is it possible to boot with bare minimum kernel?

A tutorial kind of thing would help.

I hope I have clearly explained the problem statement,

Thank you very much for your help
