RE: BootLDR, FLASH and progress?

Yes.
Yes, I am working on it. The problem is at the moment, that the code
only supports two FLASH chips in parallel 32 bit.
I have made some changes in the mapping to support two chips in 16 bit mode.
But there is still a bug in the routines. I have a hard time figuring out
how the routines are ment to work. Don't hold your breath.

You can live with the old bootloader to run the rootfilesystem with NFS.
So you only have to flash the kernel, which is quiet fast.
