How did you get it to boot? I have the same "demo-board". Linux comes
up and crashes immediately with an unrecognizable scroll of high-speed
junk on the screen. Further, the boot-ROM seems to leave the machine
in virtual-86 mode after a reset so setting the PE bit traps to the
built-in debugger.

I have to boot DOS, then warm-boot Linux. NotGood(tm)
