mvme2306

[D. Peter Siddons]

Hi Eric,
    Thanks very much for pointing out the info in the various README's. 
I know, always rtfm! Oh well. Anyway, with that and
a pointer from Joel Sherrill about modifying the mvme2307.cfg file,
I got a boot image and was able to load it. Here's what happened for
the 'paranoia' sample:

  Now
booting...                                                                  

and then nothing. THe processor activity light goes out and it just
hangs. I have tried using the PCI and VME chip configurations given
in the README's, and also the suggested configuration from the Motorola
manual for a PREP setup. It gives the same result. Am I doing something
wrong?
