Re: [iPAQ] Bootldr-2.13.2 problem

Stefan,

Please examine the instructions at
ftp://ftp.handhelds.org/pub/linux/compaq/ipaq/v0.20/install.html very
closely. The filenames are not all going to be exactly right, but you will
note that the c000 bootloader is only loaded into RAM once by osloader, it
is then used to FLASH the 0000 bootldr into FLASHROM. These must each be
used in exactly the right spots. In theory you will only ever use the c000
bootldr once, once you have a working 0000 bootldr in flash, you will be
able to flash new bootldrs into flash at any time.
