Hello all I've got myself an embedded powerpc platform (kurobox) and I'd like to install Sarge on it. My problem is - the board doesn't boot from CD, the bootloader is proprietary and I cannot load initrd... So, AFAIU, I cannot use any of the standard installation methods. I did built a cross-toolchain for it, compile a custom kernel 2.6.15.6, I can boot with NFS-root, so, I just need an installation root, and then I could install the rest over the internet. The problem is, all boot images I tried so far, that come with various install CDs, etc., are compressed, so, I cannot loopback-mount them. So, my question is - how can I install Sarge on the board? Is there a standard way that I've overseen? If not - maybe I could get a suitable boot-install-image, that I could NFS-boot to? Or maybe even somebody could briefly point me in the direction how I can build such a root-fs myself from Debian-sources?
