VxWorks bootloader & PowerQUICC II, Booting the kernel

[Ruedi.Hofer at ascom.ch]

Hi Jon & Gerald

Thanx for the patches. The kernel compiles now well and even the download
to the SBC8260 seems to work. It downloads 2 sections, perfect.


CPU: EST Corp. est8260 -- MPC8260 PowerQUICC II SBC

<I expect the output of the kernel on SMC1.>


Questions:
1. Is my assumption right that I have to jump to address 0x400000 in order to start the kernel?
2. Dan mentioned that I have to start our stuff at 0x900000! How does this correspond?
3. I'm still using HHL1.2. Does this kernel work on my board? (It's the revision test2)
4. Does the kernel use SMC1 for the printk? I think yes!
5. Does the objdump look right?
