All source is available from the Debian archive; mirrored all over the
world, the main site is ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/
Since we already have support for m68k VME boards from Motorola and BVM,
adding support for your board should be fairly easy. You'll want to
* port vmelilo so that it works on your board. Coordinate with Kars de
Jong <jongk@linux-m68k.org> and/or Richard Hirst
<richard@sleepie.demon.co.uk> for that work.
* add drivers to the kernel for any specific hardware on your board that
isn't supported by the Linux kernel yet. Coordinate with
linux-m68k@lists.linux-m68k.org for that part.
* test whether debian-installer works with the new vmelilo and the new
kernel. I'll be happy to help in that area.
After that is done, Linux and Debian will fully support your board.
