RE: [gentoo-embedded] GNAP and DOM

Have you tried using the flash_write utility from mdt?  I think that might
be the way to go.

I tried installing gnap on a hard drive, and it works. when I run the exact
same command to install it on the DOM I get the blank screen w/ flashing
cursor. Any thoughts other than using partition magick or something the copy
the data from the workign hard drve to the DOM? I have several variations I
need to create that will take some time.
