You can change the bootscript from Redboot:

RedBoot> fconfig
Run script at boot: true
Boot script:
.. fis load ramdisk
.. fis load kernel
.. exec
Enter script, terminate with empty line

>> exec -c "console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sda1 mem=512M@0xa0000000"

It will fill in the current settings, so its just enter on most of the lines.


Flashing the kernel to flash shouldn't be a problem. But if you screw
