  (figuration of the utility, using a config file)

  in POST, EEPROM shows up on 8 addresses

======================================================================

* Use 1-byte-read instead of -write for iprobe() function
  Add i2c commands to PM826 config

  which showed "Receiver is not ready" errors when U-Boot was
  processing the receive buffers slower than the network controller
  was filling them.

* Patch by Andreas Oberritter, 09 Nov 2002:
  Change behaviour of NetLoop(): return -1 for errors, filesize
  otherwise; return code 0 is valid an means no file loaded - in this

Notes for U-Boot 0.1.0:
======================================================================

This is the initial version of "Das U-Boot", the Universal Boot Loader.

It is based on version 2.0.0 (the "Halloween Release") of PPCBoot.
For information about the history of the project please see the
PPCBoot project page at http://sourceforge.net/projects/ppcboot
