Might be a stupid question, but I haven't found an answer to it yet
- how does one update to a new snapshot/kernel on an octeon system?
boot bsd.rd and select upgrade in the installer. (i hope.)
I'm afraid this is not as simple as this, yet. You will also need to
copy your kernel to the fat16 partition created during the install,
since this is the only filesystem #$%^@# u-boot can read.
Wouldn't this be a sensible addition to the INSTALL.octeon readme?
Something along the lines of:
--- INSTALL.octeon.new Wed Oct 21 09:29:17 2015
+++ INSTALL.octeon Wed Oct 21 09:34:50 2015
