Yep, simple thing! As said, new to the hardware :)

Thanks a lot.

Sure, now I 'hang' in an other area.

mge0: <Marvell Gigabit Ethernet controller> mem 0x72000-0x73fff irq
12,13,14,11,46 on simplebus0
mge0: Ethernet address: 00:d0:b8:1e:3b:df
mge0: attaching PHYs failed
--> hangs
According to the u-boot env I have two eth's and only the second is
wired and used.

>From u-boot:
Net:   egiga0, egiga1 [PRIME]

Now my questions, how do I enable verbose boot? On PowerPC I know I have
to do it in boot/loader.conf, here too?

I guess my hardware is different from an eval board, so I expect I'd
need a customized dts, no? If so, how do I get the information out of
the u-boot?
Again, thx a lot!
Andreas
