Hello,
I've successfully gotten a big-endian Linux to boot off a big-endian
Redboot.
But I'm curious to know if it is possible to boot a little-endian Linux off
a big-endian Redboot and vice versa. Could anyone shed some light on this?
Thanks
Krishna

Yes, I have done it on the Linksys NSLU2. Either byteswap all 32bit
words before uploading the kernel image or use the exec -X option.
