All,

So I have a MikroTik RB493G, and I while I=92ve got no problems =
networking booting it or getting an NFS root, via a slightly modified =
AR71xx config and Adrian=92s excellent build scripts.
=20
But what I would like to do is get a bootable kernel / MFS image onto =
that box so it=92s self contained. I=92ve tried booting OpenWRT onto it =
and using their wget2nand to flash various types of images onto it - =
with no avail. ( if only there was uboot for these things )

I=92ve searched the archives and found mention, from Luiz, on creating a =
yaffs image and write it to the NAND. But I=92m not entirely sure how to =
do this ( i=92ve looked at the docs, and am still a little lost ). It =
was for a RB450, but it seems most things regarding the RB450/450G apply =
to the RB493G.=20

So does anyone have an idea on how to do that? Is it even possible?


Additionally - in a few weeks - I=92ll have a spare MikroTik =
CRS-125-24g-1S-2HnD-In ( which is similar to the RB2011, but with a 24 =
gigabit switch ports and a nifty programable LCD panel ) that I would =
like to donate to get support for it. It=92s AR8327 based, which I know =
just got support in head. I=92m assuming adrian would be the person to =
talk to, but I could be wrong. Is there interest? It would be a neat box =
for soft switching stuff, for sure.=20

cheers and thanks,
-bp
