Yes this is a arch/powerpc configuration.  I got the device tree 
compiler, copied/configured a .dts file for my board and compiled it to 
a .dtb file.
I still don't see any output on my console.

Here are the commands from uboot:


Hit any key to stop autoboot:  0
=> tftp 00800000 myboard.dtb
Using FEC ETHERNET device
TFTP from server 192.168.100.102; our IP address is 192.168.100.11
Filename 'myboard.dtb'.

   Uncompressing Kernel Image ... OK
   Booting using the fdt at 0x800000
   Loading Device Tree to 007fc000, end 007fefff ... OK

I enclosed my .dts file as well

Thanks again,

Nick
