i would like to boot linux (ported for a ppc based board) from
ROM. This is how i think the booting should happen -

Code in ROM should contain -
- crt0.S (entry point in ROM code)
- head.S (something like what is there is arch/ppc/boot/head.S)
- other files containing code to download and decompress the vmlinux
  image in RAM.

finally, when the vmlinux.bin.gz is decompressed and we jump to it, the
entry
point is arch/ppc/kernel/head.S
is this correct ?

regards,

tulika
