Re: fLASHING PROBLEM

I just thought of something else... I hope this helps.  You need to kick 
the port rate down to 4800 from the default of 9600.  Atleast I had to.  
I heard people going from 19200 to 9600, but mine didn't work until I 
went down to 4800.  If you are getting garbage on the terminal, I think 
it is now running Linux.

PS- if that isn't the problem I think I remember doing this...  jumper, 
power on, wait until lights flicker, pull jumper.  After it flashes, it 
will reboot... then it will boot off the eprom.  At 4800, I could see it 
go through writing the image to eprom...  At 9600, I saw garbage not 
knowing it was trying to write the image.
