Hi,
Tried a different serial convertor and got this ( shown below). It does not get as far as your example John, and the PARAM's shows some differences. Is the example you give from a modified flash?
In anycase, would you please post the params mod for the "init=/bin/sh" so I can a feel for the inside of this box.
Cheers
PHiL
