Yeah, I have some more homework todo. I've looked at the device tree
documentation (I think you wrote) and will be getting to that.

Great question! I have no idea! BSE has some specific factory bootstrap.
It supports tftp, fsets, fgets, and a go <address>... it's blackbox from
there to the kernel start. BSE supplied a bootlo.bin file in their build
chain, but I haven't figured out the source yet. It unzips the kernel,
ramdisk, and supplies the old bd_info pointer to the kernel as it bounces
into the kernel start. I guess I still have my work cut out for me.
Thanks for the advice!
