Greetings,

I am trying for my first time to install NetBSD, according to Jesse's 
web page.

Everything is ok, except my lack of space on my 256 CF.
I installed "Base" and "System (/etc)"; "Compiler Tools" doesn't fit 
(not sure but the install reported an corrupted file ?).

My problem is now to boot. Jesse is storing the kernel into flash, 
that's my problem: I really don't want to touch my flash, I want to keep 
my Linux.

So I tried the usual way (TFTP) I use with Linux kernel developpement :

load -r -b 0x00218000 -h 192.168.1.48 zImage
exec -c "console=ttyAM0,115200 ...etc..."

So I tried the same for BSD's kernel:

load -r -b 0x00200000 -h 192.168.1.48 gzimg_TS7200_wd0_flash_0x60660000
go

It does not work. Does the 0x60660000 address is written inside the 
gzimg, I assume yes.
Is there a way to make launch the kernel from memory ?

I watched on embeddedARM ftp, I found theses 3 files :

gzimg_TS7200nokplcd_wd0_flash_0x60660000
gzimg_TS7200_wd0_flash_0x60660000
gzimg_TS7200_wd0_flash_0x60e60000

$ diff gzimg_TS7200_wd0_flash_0x60660000 gzimg_TS7200_wd0_flash_0x60e60000
$

Surprising ? What's is the "nokplcd" stuff ?
