[ECOS] Redboot NPE No EEPROM support.

[bel rog <belrog@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I am new to Ecos and Redboot.
I have a Custom board Ixp425 and NO EEPROM on the board.
and have added the below lines to the Redboot_ROM.ecm file to use the flash.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    cdl_option  CYGSEM_DEVS_ETH_ARM_IXDP425_EEPROM {
        user_value 0
    };    
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But I still have problem enabling the Network .

   1.  First I run    "fis init"
   2.  Next I run    "fconfig -i"
   3.  reset the board.
RedBoot> reset

QUESTION:
   1. Why does the FLASH configuration checksum Error come back 
   2. Is there some other setting that i Need the Intel Network Driver
to come up.
   3. Does the new 2.01 Boot loader Support the Intel NPE drivers.
   4. Which version of Redboot is most stable one to Use with IXP425
