Just got an F50 running today with CS 1.2, booting from hard disk.

I had to dd a 2.2.12 kernel to /dev/sda1. When I tried 2.2.15 the
dynamic libraries
woulnd't load after root was mounted. Figured since the installer kernel
was 2.2.12 I'd
try it and it worked.

Other problem is getting the OK prompt commands correct to boot from
disks. After installing
the new system and doing the "dd if=./2.2.12.zimage of=/dev/sda1", stop
the next boot
by hitting 8 or f8 at the SMS menu. Then enter this stuff:

setenv default
setenv boot disk
setenv boot-file root=/dev/sda2 (or wherever root is)
reset-all

Machine should re-boot from the kernel on /dev/sda1.

Haven't messed with quik yet.
