Information/PPCBootLoader

'' This article Originally by Frontalot at Linkstationwiki.org '' The boot process is as follows:


 * 1) The boot loader is loaded from /dev/fl2.
 * 2) The boot loader loads vmlinux.gz from /dev/fl1 and starts the kernel.
 * 3) The boot status is read from /dev/fl3.
 * 4) If "NGNG" is read or /dev/hda1 fails to mount, the ramdisk is loaded from /dev/fl1.
 * 5) If "OKOK" is read, the filesystem is loaded from /dev/hda1.
