Hi,
As far as I remember "-1" means that last fash sector holds the "Redboot
FIS directory".
On my TS-7200 I have 8mb NOR flash (64 * 1280kb block).
- TS-BOOTROM (1 block)
- Linux rootdisk [JFFS2 parition] (48 blocks)
- Redboot (15 blocks)
Redboot is internally divided:
- Redboot binary (2 blocks)
- Linux kernel (11 blocks)
- Redboot config (2 blocks)
Redboot config is two part:
- Block 63 (address 0x607c000) : Redboot config
- Block 64 (address 0x607e000) : Redboot FIS directory
Maybe try to specify 63 (0-based index) in the kernel config.
Hope it helps
Regards,
Matthieu
