Loading custom kernel

[drewg]

Hi,

I just got a TTL-serial cable going & I'm wondering a few things..

First, how did you break into YAMON in order to netboot? I've tried ^C, ^Y, etc. It may be that I'm just not fast enough..

Next, any progress on either kexec, or tricking it to boot an unencrypted kernel from flash?

Last, dmesg talks about a SATA port. When I opened the box to install the TTL/Serial cable, I noticed another, smaller 4-pin header right next to the heatsink (in addition to the serial header along the edge of the board). Is that second header for SATA?

any updates on this?

No. As far as I know there's always some problems when trying to boot a different (unsigned) kernel.
