I suggest you use screen as your terminal and "sb" (from lrzsz) to send the initrd with xmodem or ymodem. e.g.: load -v -m ymodem -b 0xsomeaddress -r from screen type ^A and « : » then: exec !!.| sb --ymodem /some/file Another good option with the Thecus (you have a Thecus, right?) is http: load -r -v -b 0x01d00000 -h 192.168.0.12 -m http /kernel load -r -v -b 0x01000000 -h 192.168.0.12 -m http /initrd That's much faster too. -- Loïc Minier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-arm-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
