How to boot linux on sandpoint board ?

[Sarnath K - CTD, Chennai.]

I am a novice in the embedded PPC world,
I have been hearing a lot about PRep,CHRP, OF
booting, ppcBoot etc etc..on the net. I need to port a
part of linux code  to PPC and get it work in
a sandpoint board. Can any of u brief me about
whats what ? The big picture of whats goin on ?
A bit of DINK and memory layout when the kernel
is loaded would also be of great help. Any pointers
to how linux boots on the PPC would also be of great help.
Just the  philosophy would do..( without referring source files).
Whats the "ppcBoot" project is about ?
