1. run a Flash Erase
2. serload blupdater.img
3. if you got a CF-Card, simply format it as vfat (for Windows FAT)
4. Place the jffs2-Image in the root-directoy of the card
5. rename the jffs2-File to simpad-rootfs.jffs2
6. insert the card into your simpad
7. Power on and wait

Also from the same thread, for subsequent installs just put the image on =
a=20
CF card and do:

copy hda1:/simpad-rootfs.jffs2 root

at the boot> prompt from a connected serial terminal (assuming that your=20
image is called simpad-rootfs.jffs2 )

Great news! I thought that Linux on Simpad had become a dead project!
Please send short desciption how to load images on Simpad. I'm not
familiar with new boot loader.

Best regards
