How to Install foonas-em on the hard drive of the LS2-lsmipsel

This is for anyone has has a LinkStation 2 w/ the ST flash chip that won't currently accommodate foonas-em because of the second chip.

On a uboot-equipped LS2, while booted in linux, (openlink, freelink, foonas, whatever)..., cd to /boot and wget the latest (or desired) foonas-em image, then reboot...

cd /boot/
wget <insert the url of the latest foonas-em image for lsmipsel here - we assume its filename to be vmlinuz.gz>
reboot

in your netconsole/netcat window, after stopping UBoot's bootprocess w/ an "s", enter the following commands:

=> ide reset
=> ext2load ide 0:1 82000000  /boot/vmlinuz.gz
=> setenv bootargs netconsole=6666@192.168.11.150/,@192.168.11.149/ root=/dev/ram0 rw
=> bootm 82000000

If you are successful, you will see something like this:

=> ide reset
ide reset
