| 66 | 1 | Gordon Shumway | |
| 67 | 1 | Gordon Shumway | RedBoot comes up with a default menu that allows selecting between booting the Clavister OS (this is done automatically after a timeout) or enter the RedBoot command line. |
| 68 | 1 | Gordon Shumway | |
| 69 | 1 | Gordon Shumway | Although RedBoot is able to write configuration to flash memory, it ignores (at least some of the) settings contained there (console_baud_rate). The flash config doesn't contain the NPE MAC addresses either. *Make note of your MAC addresses from the original OS.* |

| 71 | 1 | Gordon Shumway | h3. Automatic booting |
| 72 | 1 | Gordon Shumway | |
| 73 | 1 | Gordon Shumway | Booting the Clavister OS is done by the following command sequence: |
| 74 | 1 | Gordon Shumway | |
| 75 | 1 | Gordon Shumway | <pre> |
| 76 | 1 | Gordon Shumway | load -m disk -b 0x100000 hda1:FWLOADER.CFX |
| 77 | 1 | Gordon Shumway | go -c 0x101028 |
| 78 | 1 | Gordon Shumway | </pre> |
| 79 | 1 | Gordon Shumway | |
| 80 | 1 | Gordon Shumway | This will load FWLOADER.CFX from the first CF partition, which must be either FAT(16?) or ext2fs. Any file named FWLOADER.CFX can be loaded as long as it satisfies the following (known) constraints: |
| 81 | 1 | Gordon Shumway | |
| 82 | 1 | Gordon Shumway | * Begins with a 4136-byte long DOS/PE stub (it _must_ be a proper DOS/PE stub, at least to some as-of-yet-unknown extent) |
| 83 | 1 | Gordon Shumway | * The payload after that _must_ be a tagged image (ie. ELF) |
| 84 | 1 | Gordon Shumway | |
| 85 | 1 | Gordon Shumway | h2. Miscellaneous notes |
| 86 | 1 | Gordon Shumway | |
| 87 | 1 | Gordon Shumway | If GPIO5 is grounded when power is applied, the board enters some sort of a simple self-test routine. |
