Hello,
today I spent some time making a somewhat "Multiboot" for my
PandaBoard. Finally it works. :D

Summary: I use a SD-Card for booting. All images and scripts are on
mmc, rootfs are on a USB-disk with multiple partitions (as of now I
have Ubuntu precise server, oneiric server and Arch ARM plus data
partition). With a little manual intervention I can boot all of these
OS without changing the SD-card. I'am just using (standard) u-boot
scripting features.

Question is, should I post the detailed procedure (with setup)
somewhere and is it interesting at all? If Yes, what's the best place
to post it? It's going to be a Wiki article at least.

best regards,
DeJe

PS: I would like if a Omap4 expert could have a look at the "get core
temperature" post here and answer if its working or not on PandaBoard
