In Fedora20, /boot/ is empty, so I am lost :) What I would like to be able to do, if possible, is figure out make the root above into an image that I could install into the nand, etc. I would also be fine to put it on an sdcard as well. But knowing how to actually create all this stuff would be very nice to know :) It seems that Mandar has all the knowledge I need .. is there a good blog post somewhere that details actually creating the bootable images, etc? Or would you post detailed commands like the one you did for the creation of the root, etc. I created a sparc version beta of CentOS-4 and I know how to use UEFI on the armv8 stuff .. it's just these armv7 boards that are throwing me for a loop. But hopefully once I see some examples I can figure this stuff out. Thanks, Johnny Hughes -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
