The bootloader is not really something debian can control for most systems (excluding x86 PCs and a few specific machines like powerpc and sparc systems with openfirmware which have standard boot interfaces). > Bootloader question > > Is a bootloader required if uboot is being used ? > > > With drive plugged in now I added the above fstab and kernel image , its > trying to do something, but its not sending dhcp requests. > my /etc/network/interfaces looks like this > > auto lo > iface lo inet loopback > > # To use dhcp: > # > auto eth0 > iface eth0 inet dhcp > > The router is telling me its not connected so dhcp is not running and > still how to get ssl running as this is a headless unit Probably worth starting with a static IP until you get things working.
