linux on wafer 4821?

Sep 29, 2003 0 Replies

hi,



I've bought a wafer 4821 and want to run linux on it. at the moment i'm having 2 major problems:


  1. accessing the bios: the wafer has no vga connector, so i'm a bit lost how to enter the bios and change the settings??? (already tried using amisetup over a serial line dos - doesn't work :-( )


  1. changing the parameters for the onboard realtek ethernet: (the rset8019 utility also doesn't work using a serial line dos :-( )



so far i've managed to boot DOS (from either floppy or a compact flash card connected as IDE drive). using ctty CON1: i can now enter dos commands using the serial line.



i also managed to load a linux kernel using loadlin, however now i'm looking for a distro to fit on a 32MB CF (with sshd).



has anybody experiences with the wafer 4821 and linux and could help me with this problems?



thanks, Andreas
