Hi Steven,

how can a make an u-boot image that contains a kernel _and_ a script?
Well, _making_ the image is easy. the mkimage tool will happily combine any files you pass to it into one multifile image (MFI).
But _using_ such a MFI is a different issue. So far, PPCBoot understands only one format of MFIs, which consist of a Linux kernel image as the first part and a ramdisk image as the second part. This is being handled buy the "bootm" command.
So far, there is no other support for MFIs.
How is the syntax within the script?
A script is a text file containing commands. The syntax is the same as on the command line interface. Actually this is what happens: the script will be passed to the command line interpreter, line by line.
Best regards,
