Hi
I have made great progress and now have a working Linux on my 5501.
The crucial point turned out to be that pxelinux.0 is rather picky
about its configuration file in pxelinux.cfg:
As per the example in "Installing RedHat 9.0 on a Soekris 4801 SBC."
(http://www.xs4all.nl/~vhouten/Soekris.html) I had use the '\'
character to fold long lines. This doesn't work ;-) When I joined the
folded lines to one line, everything worked.
It appears that the console cannot be used after 'init' has completed.
I guess that that's normal?
I hope that the SATA mounting kit shows up soon, so I can make a more
permanent installation than the NFS-based one I have at the moment.
Anyway, thanks for the help and hints you gave.
Kind regards,
Bent
