No need to copy ramdisk image when it's already in RAM ??? Or do we
have to move it out of the way if it's too low in memory?
+ No need to copy ramdisk image when it's in Flash/ROM ...

* Network Code:
After booting over BOOTP / RARP, any new network configuration
automatically stored in the environment for later use by the Linux
(or other RTOS) kernel and/or processes.
-* Network Code:
-
- It should not be necessary to reboot the system just to set or to
- change the network parameters (like "serverip" etc.).
-
* Timer:
don't use 'lr RX, const; mtdec RX" -> use:
Fix Exception handling for "Software Emulation Exception" etc.
+======================================================================
+Modifications for 0.5.2:
+======================================================================
+
+* Added MPC855 support
+
+* Tested with MPC8xx at 80 MHz CPU clock / 40 MHz bus clock
+
+* Don't block booting of other OS than Linux using "bootm"
+
+* Added Cogent port (by Murray Jensen <Murray.Jensen@cmst.csiro.au>)
+
+* Added KGDB support (by Murray Jensen)
+ Warning: the KGDB code is *big*. If you include it you'll probably
+ need to throw out lots of other features or increas the size of
+ your firmware memory.
+
+* Extended flash addressing to use sector numbers
+
======================================================================
Modifications for 0.5.1:
======================================================================
+* Bugfix: we can't write to global data as long as we are running
+ from flash; we'll use some memory above the initial stack now.
+
+* Copy configuration parameters (ethaddr, ipaddr) to board info
+ struct when they are set or changed using "setenv" thus avoiding
+ that you have to reboot the board for the change to take effect
+ (hey, we aren't Widoze after all)
+
* Made many commands configurable to save memory on production
systems or to disable features (like network support) on hardware
- which cannot support it
+ which cannot support it, or to make PPCBoot fit in a give ROM size.
* Added support for SPD823TS board.
