Subject: [9fans] change to bitsy/devsac.c to use the new bootldr

Hi,
To load and use a ramdisk on the bitsy with
the new boot loaders you need to change devsac.c:
where it said
p = (uchar*)Flash_tar+4;
it should say now
p = (uchar*)Flash_tar;
This seems to be due to a change in the bootldr that
now has a partition table. So the tar file created in
ramdisk now gets placed exactly at 0x100000, not at
0x100004. Beware that this change can make devsac.c
fail with previous verions of the bootldr, but you are
likely to upgrade it anyway...
BTW, you also need to create a ramdisk partition in the
bootldr. I'll post in a minute an updated howto file
(i.e. Booting101) for the new bootldr.
