Hi,
Does anyone have or is busy with an app that one can load in the
redboot flash, that will load the kernel from the active partition
of a compact flash? I know one can load the kernel in the redboot
flash, but that makes remote upgrading more difficult. The way I
have done with our wrap and soekris boards, is to create 2 slices
on the CF. When upgrading, you just format and install on the
non-active slice, change the active bit and reboot.
