Howdy, y\'all,

I'm trying to get a little TS-7000 board running (Its got an RT clock
on it too!) Debian. My end-goal is to run dnsmasq on it.

I got the thing booting if i ran off the network (it refused to
properly boot running the vmlinux image that was on the FLASH) using
vmlinux-7200-ts9
I then said "Ok then, I can smoosh this into flash!
so i followed from RedBoot:
> fis delete vmlinux
> load -b 0x00218000 -m http -h 192.168.0.12 /vmlinux-7200-ts9.bin
> fis create vmlinux
Cant find enough bytes free in flash!

I read some other documentation that said a zImage was a good idea. So
i got the zImage for ts9 and tried loading it into FLASH:
> fis delete vmlinux
> load -r -v -b 0x00218000 -m http -h 192.168.0.12 /zImage-7200-ts9
> fis create vmlinux
> fis list
...
zImage  0x60EA000 0x00218000 0x00000000 0x00218000

I spot a problem.
i *should* have enough space on this little guy.

However, failing that i've moved to the other option: load the kernel
from the CF.

I have a 1GiB SanDisk UltraII formatted ext2 with the debian sarge 3.1
rootfs extracted.
It looks somewhat like this on disk:
/
- vmlinux.bin
/tmp
/mnt
/bin
/sbin/
/usr/
...

I run from RedBoot:
> load -b 0x00218000 -m disk hda1:/vmlinux.bin
e2fs_open: e2fs_inode_lookup failed
Can't load 'hda1:vmlinux': Can't open file

this isnt looking good for me, is it?

Any ideas?
