i haven't seen any "howto" documents except those for the ipaq. since i
haven't found anything i have tried to document the steps needed for a
jornada to boot linux and give you a shell via the serial port.

check http://acid.ch.pw.edu.pl/~sq5bpf/mylinux/linux-jornada720/

the rest is straight forward: compile a kernel with pcmcia support,
compile pcmcia_cs for strongarm processors, put in on the ramdisk image,
boot the kernel, launch cardmgr, copy some linux distribution to a CF card
on the jornada via the network, chroot to the cf card, exec init etc..

i will update the above page when i get my hands on a jornada again
