    i would like to boot linux (ported for a ppc based board) from
    ROM. This is how i think the booting should happen -

    Code in ROM should contain -
    - crt0.S (entry point in ROM code)
    - head.S (something like what is there is arch/ppc/boot/head.S)
    - other files containing code to download and decompress the vmlinux
      image in RAM.

    finally, when the vmlinux.bin.gz is decompressed and we jump to it, the
    entry
    point is arch/ppc/kernel/head.S
    is this correct ?

    regards,

    tulika
