I have redboot working, more or less, out of RAM
on my 860T board.   (The RAM build)

Next step.  ROM.  But what is appropriate.
Should I do ROMRAM or just ROM?

I plan on loading Linux through this.

Thoughts?
Thanks,
 Mike

The primary advantage to ROMRAM mode is that RedBoot can update
itself in FLASH without any extra (e.g. RAM) steps.

Other than that, if all you want to do is load & start Linux,
then either will do.
