Locations where I can find the files needed would be EXTREMELY helpful.
I've just used up an afternoon trying to find a ofwboot.net file that will
work. All the ones I've tried give me an "Illegal Instruction". I can
get the Linux kernel to boot on my Krups no problem. If I need to cross
compile stuff from the sources that would also be useful info. You listed
in your original email "You will need ... and a kernel created from the
KRUPS configuration." Where is that kernel? Where do I put it? There
are some references in the docs to putting a kernel on the NFS server but
no mention of where it's looked for. The docs also mention that the
ofwboot.net file that goes in the /tftpboot directory is the kernel. I'll
admit to being a NetBSD newbie, but two kernels doesn't seem right.
BTW I can find no reference to the bootjs.elf file you listed in your
original post. I'm assuming the ofwboot.net is the same thing? Maybe
not???
Sorry if I sound a little frustrated. I was looking forward to using
this since the linux port for the Javastation is pretty much dead.
Thanks for any info,
JG
