Basic porting of RTEMS on flash chip for i386 board

[Aditya]

Dear Joel,

		Im presently working on a 386ex board with CAN and
Ethernet which has flash and DRAM memory on it. There is actually
nothing on the board(No OS).

Im want to use RTEMS on the board. But I do not know how to program the
flash. Is there any special way of compiling RTEMS for flash memory, so
that I can use the compiled RTEMS and program the flash using a flash
programmer? 

How do I test if the board has booted the OS or not? Do I need a file
system on the flash memory?

Aditya.
