bootrom attached - look inside, there very funny text messages, maybe we can install linux derectly on HD.
If press Archos button during power on (when linux not booted yet) that will show debug info. There will physical memory map. I wrote simple module for access to ROM physical memory, which create proc entry. Read from this will read from ROM memory maybe there more easy access, but i used this:
