I recommand you to use upate command to bo so update -t kernel -d nand -m nfs -f /var/share/uImage I recommand you also to drop the uImage support and boot the zImage directly you will boot more fast and I also recommand you to boot from nor if you can so you don't need the bootstrap Best Regards, J. _______________________________________________ barebox mailing list barebox@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/barebox
