Thank you so much for your help. I have finally got gNS to boot on its own on my YeeLoong. On the wiki however, where it says:
"Note: if the dir (wd0,0)/boot command gives you only one delo.2nd file, you have to boot your installed system from USB key" it says to do this: "load (wd0,0)/boot/vmlinux-2.6.31.6-libre1" but it should say (usb0,0) instead. And if one is following the directions on the page, it is unlikely they have a /boot directory on their USB. I used "load (usb0,0)/vmlinux-2.6.31.6-libre1" Other notes: I couldn't install the default kernel (2.6.32.2) but I successfully installed 2.6.32.3 I also went with GRUB and noted that I had to install GRUB first. sudo apt-get install grub-yeeloong is working for me so far. Perhaps that step could be included in the wiki. Well, I have just booted up for the first time so it's time to play. Hopefully I can get the wireless to play and other things to work. Thanks again!
