Not too bad. You basically need 3 pieces of information: kernel file, initrd

Look for isolinux.cnf and cat it. Look for the installation entry. The

Hello there,
I am wondering if this board is supported at all:
Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe, based on an nVidia MCP55 (NF570-SLI), running with an
Amd Athlon64 6000+ X2
The lspci output is:

00:01.0 ISA bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP55
I'm thinking to drag out my FS2 -- I think the norwich takes that
connection, right? It ought to be simpler with jtag in place.
