Script for automated booting RPX boards

[Pavel Roskin]

Hello!

Just in case if anybody here is interested, I'm sending a script that
makes it possible to automate booting RPX/Lite boards from Minicom.

This script can also be used together with pppd for establishing a PPP
connection upon the boot.

Main features:

Runs under runscript and intergrates well with Minicom (Ctrl-A G)
Can be run before and after reset, and also after an unsuccessful load
Detection of "dash rotation"
Flexibility - you can specify kernel name parameters

This script requires kernels to be processed with fixed zsrec.c (see my
previous message)

Happy hacking,
Pavel Roskin
