Hi
I didn't exactly get you. what i did is i downloaded the ramdisk_img.gz
from netwinder.org and placed ramdisk_img.gz file and zImage file under
/tftpboot directory. After this i simply issued golinux command from
cygwin prompt. golinux command gets the ramdisk_img.gz and zImage file
through tftp and starts exectuing. you are gessing that I didn't load the
ramdisk in proper location ? Where we need to mention the location ? How
do we know where to load the image i.e from which location.
I am sorry for troubling you. I am sitting idle just because i could not
go forward with booting linux onto IXP.
thanks
