Hi! I have yeeloong8089d laptop computer, with pmon2000 firmware (version line: "PMON2000 2.1 (Bonito) #14: Tue May 18 10:33:47 CST 2010"). I write OpenBSD/6.6/loongson/miniroot66.fs to usb drive. In first partition of miniroot66.fs, rest identical 2 file "bsd" and "bsd.rd". Is gzipped ELF executable. I type into pmon2000 shell prompt according to INSTALL.loongson "boot -k /dev/fs/ext2@usb0/bsd.rd", print line "Loading file: /dev/fs/ext2@usb0/bsd.rd", cursor blink briefly at tail of line, and print line "/dev/fs/ext2@usb0/bsd.rd: boot failed".
I unzip, then boot successfully. I not have some other build of pmon2000 firmware at hand. Other version of pmon2000 firmware may or may not can load gzip image, but mine cannot. Will you add a note in INSTALL.loongson document this, or instead ship unzipped image? I not understand why identical 2 file "bsd" and "bsd.rd". "bsd" is not mentioned in INSTALL.loongson, nor in other documents I find. Best regards!
