A dtb shouldn't be necessary for the Sheevaplug, I don't think. Did you
manually supply one or did something do that for you? I'm not that
familiar with how a Sheevaplug is set up to boot by default.
I think that if you install by booting without an fdt (in "board file"
mode) then everything should just work.
Alternatively if you want to boot in DTB mode (I don't think there is
any direct benefit to doing so right now) then you will need to figure
out an appropriate stanza for the flash-kernel database. Probably this
will be very similar to the existing non-DTB one, except the Machine
line should be the contents of /proc/device-tree/model instead
of /proc/cpuinfo:hardware and you will probably want a DTB-Id line
naming the correct DTB file. It's possible you might be able to combine
the DTB and boardfile entires into one (the "Marvell Armada XP GP Board"
does this) See flash-kernel's README for more information. You can
experiment with entries in /etc/flash-kernel/db instead of editing the
main DB.
HTH,
Ian.
