           Summary: h2200 - labrun is needed to  boot off the flash -
                    root=mtd3
           Product: Openembedded
           Version: Angstrom unstable
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Distributions
        AssignedTo: openembedded-issues at lists.openembedded.org
        ReportedBy: mpanczyk at gmail.com


h2200 linux bootloader used /dev/mtdblock3 as default root to boot form the
internal flash. The new approach is to leave mtdblock alone and use mtd (mtd3
in case of h2200). To boot a labrun file needs to be put in /boot/ dir with
following parameters:
---
copy fs:/mnt/boot/zImage fs:/zImage 
umount /mnt
armboot fs:/zImage "rootfstype=jffs2 root=mtd3 console=ttyS0,115200n8
console=tty0"
---

I have not (yet!) found a clever way for the OE to build jffs2 images with that
file. 

I know that initramfs in coming but for now the bug exists and stops angstrom
form booting off internal flash.
