Boot messages from my firewall:

Linux version 2.6.32.8 (rmk at rmk-PC) (gcc version 3.4.3) #11 Sat Mar 27 20:51:49 GMT 2010
CPU: StrongARM-110 [4401a102] revision 2 (ARMv4), cr=0000517d
CPU: VIVT data cache, VIVT instruction cache
Machine: EBSA110
Converting old-style param struct to taglist
ATAG_INITRD is deprecated; please update your bootloader.
Memory policy: ECC disabled, Data cache writeback

Obviously, being a critical machine here, and that I have no way to jtag
it if I brick it, I'm not going to replace the boot loader (which
incidentally can only bootp/tftp one file - the one in the bootp packet.)
