All,

So I have a MikroTik RB493G, and I while I’ve got no problems networking booting it or getting an NFS root, via a slightly modified AR71xx config and Adrian’s excellent build scripts.
 
But what I would like to do is get a bootable kernel / MFS image onto that box so it’s self contained. I’ve tried booting OpenWRT onto it and using their wget2nand to flash various types of images onto it - with no avail. ( if only there was uboot for these things )

I’ve searched the archives and found mention, from Luiz, on creating a yaffs image and write it to the NAND. But I’m not entirely sure how to do this ( i’ve looked at the docs, and am still a little lost ). It was for a RB450, but it seems most things regarding the RB450/450G apply to the RB493G. 

So does anyone have an idea on how to do that? Is it even possible?


Additionally - in a few weeks - I’ll have a spare MikroTik CRS-125-24g-1S-2HnD-In ( which is similar to the RB2011, but with a 24 gigabit switch ports and a nifty programable LCD panel ) that I would like to donate to get support for it. It’s AR8327 based, which I know just got support in head. I’m assuming adrian would be the person to talk to, but I could be wrong. Is there interest? It would be a neat box for soft switching stuff, for sure. 

cheers and thanks,
-bp
