Well, _making_ the image is  easy.  the  mkimage  tool  will  happily
combine any files you pass to it into one multifile image (MFI).

But _using_ such  a  MFI  is  a  different  issue.  So  far,  PPCBoot
understands  only one format of MFIs, which consist of a Linux kernel
image as the first part and a ramdisk image as the second part.  This
is being handled buy the "bootm" command.

So far, there is no other support for MFIs.

A script is a text file containing commands. The syntax is  the  same
as  on the command line interface. Actually this is what happens: the
script will be passed to the command line interpreter, line by line.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
