Hi all!
I've gotten my board to boot! Thank you to all who have responded and
helped me before. I have a USB key hooked to the host port, and I can see
the USB driver detects it.. but oddly enough it seems to try and add it a
couple of times... which is perhaps breaking it? and is /dev/sda the
correct entry for root= when booting from a USB key?
Thank you for any help!
