Dear "Zvi Vered",
In message 509266184E1640CE8B4B0A06F1ADF6F5@userd662364e58 you wrote:
Is it possible to boot an X86 machine (with ATOM or Core2Duo) using uboot ?
U-Boot has not been ported to Atom ore Core2Duo yet.
If yes, how uboot is loaded to the master boot record of the disk from which the machine is booted ?
You misunderstand the role of U-Boot. U-Boot does not get installed in the MBR of any boot media, it would replace the BIOS on your mainboard.
In general, for x86 you probably want to have a look at coreboot instead.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
