Appears what happened is when you did a fconfig and it asked for the
timeout value you entered "1" for 1 second. However, that equates to
.1 second (since these are 100 milisecond units). I am guessing this
window is too small and unless you are really quick you miss it. You
might try pressing ^c a bunch of times really fast as it boots up.
If that doesn't work I suggest looking at serialblaster (available on
the yahoo group files area). Basically you install jumper JP1 and the
board boots via serial. You run serialblaster on your system instead
of minicom and it sends the board a bootrom and a redboot image. You
can then quit out of serialblaster, open minicom and you should be at
the redboot prompt at which point you can re-run fconfig.
good luck!
