For the ss4000e, the work has already been done by Ard. The kernel must
be loaded at 0x01008000. As regards the initrd, there's no special
address, as long as you're using things like initrd=<address>
For instance :
load -v -r -b 0x01800000 -m ymodem ramdisk
load -v -r -b 0x01008000 -m ymodem zImage
exec -c ".... initrd=0xa1800000,8M"
Please note that one has to add 0xa0000000 between redboot address and
kernel command line.
As regards the logs, the kernel stop loading at early boot process,
which may also be due to wrong machine number to the kernel [ which is
the case with the redboot shipped with the ss4000e ].
