My embedded PowerPC board booted a Linux kernel for the first time today. Now it needs a root file system. Can anybody give me some tips on setting up a root file system for an embedded PowerPC, in an initrd or by nfsroot? Can I force dpkg on the (x86) host to install PowerPC packages into a PowerPC root directory? If so, what's a good minimum set for a machine which only has a serial console? - Adrian Cox, AG Electronics
