Hello

we documented most of the stuff needed to compile
and run a kernel on 84200 gear (the ramdisk is
another matter). if you can hook a level shifter to
see the boot I think (from experience on other
gear with vxworks like Microsoft MN100) it would
be easy to boot/test linux on it, but the serial
is a must to see what is happening and help debuging
at earlier stages (and to unbrick the unit in case
you mess things up)

unfortunately Belkin gear isn't easy to find here
in Brazil, so you'll need the one to be brave :-)

tip: the board seems a lot like SMC7004VWBR rev.1
so you can problably trace the UART pins to the
header on the board to be sure before hooking your
PC/level shifter on it

if you don't have the tools (like me) to build your
own, you can buy from Marcelo Costa (which is also
on this list) or from this site (ask for the single
port level shifter)
