[edit] Booting Angstrom

Angstrom on Zoom 36xx has been tested on SD boot. Copy bootloader and kernel to the Boot partition of the SD card. Angstrom file system built using Narcissus has to be copied to the secondary partition.

Once Angstrom loads, login as 'root'. Password is "no password" i.e. just press "Enter".

To log into Angstrom from the Zoom3 screen, a new user has to be created. Hence create a user at the hyper terminal.

$ adduser <name> password <pwd>

If you type the command cat /etc/passwrd, you should be able to see usr/<name> as a valid user.

Login using <name> and <pwd> on Zoom 36xx and Angstrom should load.
