+This is my attempt to port PPCBoot to the i386 platform. This
+work was sponsored by my emplyer, Omicron Ceti AB. http://www.omicron.se
+
+It is currently capable of booting a linux bzImage from flash on
+the AMD SC520 CDP platform.
+
+It was originally based on PPCBoot taken from the CVS October 28 2002.  
+
+To compile:
+
+1) Unpack the source tree, either from the complete tarball or
+   from the virgin snapshot + the patch
+   
+2) Configure the source
+   $ make sc520_cdp_comfig
+   $ make
+   
+To use this code on the CDP:
+1) Make a suitable kernel, I used 2.4.19 with the mtd-support updated
+   from the MTD CVS and a patch to allow root=/dev/mtdblock1 which I
+   included at the end of this file. 
+   The following options in the MTD section might be useful:
+   
+   CONFIG_MTD_PHYSMAP=y
+   CONFIG_MTD_PHYSMAP_START=38100000
+   CONFIG_MTD_PHYSMAP_LEN=7a0000
+   CONFIG_MTD_PHYSMAP_BUSWIDTH=2
+
+
+2) Program it in to the CDP flashbank with remon
+   ppcboot.bin should be programmed att offset 0x7e000 and the kernel at
+   offset 0. If you want to use a jffs2 root file system (not included here), 
+   it should be  programmed to offset 0x100000.
+   
+   remon> z
+   remon> yi
+   remon> ns ppcboot.bin 7e0000
+   remon> ns bzImage 0
+   remon> ns image.jffs2 100000
+
+3) Connect a terminal to the 25pin serial port at 9600bps, and start the CDP.
+   
+   remon> z
+   remon> g
+
+4) PPCboot should output some message and a prompt on the terminal, to
+   start the kernel issue the following command:
+   
+   BOOT> bootm
+   
+5) The kernel should boot, and mount the root filesystem if present.
+
+We hope you find this stuff useful
