Re: help with configuring bootloader

What I have to do is:

(ipaq is attached to terminal)

- when you have the CRL boot screen
 - tap space bar a few times

* boot from internal flash:

set linuxargs "noinitrd root=/dev/mtdblock1 init=/linuxrc console=ttySA0"

* boot from intimate linux:

set linuxargs "noinitrd root=/dev/mtdblock1 init=/linuxrc.intimate
console=ttySA0"

* boot from a cfcard with a ramdisk in the first (VFAT) partition
set linuxargs "initrd root=/dev/ram init=/linuxrc ramdisk_size=5120
console=ttySA0"

-- set kernel_filename boot/zImage
-- set initrd_filename boot/initrd.cramfs

You need to make sure that init= is init=/linuxrc.intimate and not
init=/linuxrc so that the initimate boot will look for you CF cards and
then pivot root on them.

Also, I _always_ have to remove my toshiba 2gig and network card-- if I
leave them in, initmate never sees them. I insert them when I get the
intimate screen looking for a boot volume.
