Where can I get more details on how the PI boots ?
Does the GPU get properly initialized right away ? can I see the kenel booting
on the HDMI output ? or do I need a serial console for that ?
So all the other files are not necessary for booting ?
COPYING.linux and LICENCE.broadcom are probabbly there for the boot code ...
I'm sure I can omit them safely.
But what about fixup.dat , fixup_cd.dat and start_cd.elf ?
I don't really want to do the install thing as I generally prefer to start from
a miniroot and add what I need rather then answring a lot of questions,
tinkering with tagfiles or installing everything.
On a PC with 1Tb of mass storage installing everything just to going fast is ok
... but on slower hardware with slower flash storage I really prefer the
miniroot way.
Regards
David

The pi requires a fat filesystem to boot from. That partition is normally
mountesd on /boot and should contain a kernel - default kernel.img, start.elf,
bootcode.bin, cmdline.txt and optionally a config.txt which is used to overide
defaut settings.
