		Hi Daniel,
I'm not using it as a second stage loader yet, but I plan to do that in the future (or at least on 63268 NAND devices).Right now I'm testing BMIPS support by booting u-boot.elf from RAM (loaded via TFTP from CFE bootloader).
On the other hand, I haven't yet checked what CFE loads from NAND on 63268 devices, but it's probably a bin cferam and not an elf.However, I can describe you what I think I know from 63268 devices:- They boot from a minimal CFE version stored in NAND (stage 1 CFE or cferom).- Then, CFE reads a JFFS2 partition from and loads a second stage CFE (or cferam). This is the one I plan to replace with u-boot since there's no documentation available for 63268 low level init.- After that, cferam loads and boots linux from that same JFFS2 partition where cferam is stored.
So, I still think that BMIPS_BOOT_RAM is appropriate, but you're right about changing the description.
BTW, sorry for sending this email in HTML, but I can only send it from my phone right now.
Regards,Álvaro.

maybe you should rename the Kconfig symbol and rephrase the help text.
You want to have a stage2 loader in ELF format. For this, caches
shouldn't be disabled or touched at all. Also it's up to the user if he
wants a persistent environment in flash.
