I've released my bugboot package at 0.2 since it doesn't look like PPCBUG
will have residual data support in the RB facility any time soon. This
adds a horrible kludge to copy a residual data tree included in the
flash image.
What is it?
It's a simple tool and bootloader that creates a flashable image from a
Linux kernel/initrd and a dump of a residual data tree. This image is
flashed onto any Motorola PowerPlus board 4/8/16 MB flash bank and then
Linux is booted from the flash. This works on
MVME23xx/24xx/26xx/27xx/36xx/46xx, MCPx750, and MTX variants.
