Well the 8Gb works. It took 2 boots again. Probably something that has
to be done to the usb drive that requires reboot? Anyway, now on to
changing the boot options per:
fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/F18/GuruPlug
Thing is should I keep it to booting from the /boot partition or from
NAND? I can see one arguement to keep it as it is, and that is if we
get updated kernels over the next two years?
Also I got a netconsole working by following:
http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,14,14
Now there is a warning NOT to use the fw_setenv that comes in Fedora, as
that would brick the pogo. I am assuming that unless I change these
options I will always have this netconsole? That the boot instructions
to boot off the usb will not change that? If so how might I change what
addresses used for the netconsole now?
