[U-Boot-Users] dual boot by modifying u-boot environment variables from linux/vxWorks

[Robert Steele]

I want to be able to 'dual' boot my system, a Gespac PCIPPC-2 (power pc), 
by the using the method of modifying the u-boot environment variables from 
either vxWorks or Linux. This way if I boot up in the 'wrong' system I can 
change the boot parameters and reboot. It looks like the fw* utilities 
require /dev/mds1 and /dev/mds1 to reference the flash memory and this does 
not appear to be set up in my kernel. Does this require a re-build of my 
kernel or are there other less dramatic options available. If anyone can 
point me to any solutions I would very much appreciate the references.

If someone knows of a better solutions for rebooting that would be nice to 
hear about. One of my requirements is that the final system will have a 
monitor or keyboard on it for this rebooting process.

Thanks,

Rob Steele
