Is this some other network?

Nope. The dhcp client in BL1 needs libc5. The 1.5mb
ramdisk I've put together uses uClibc.

It won't if you get a permanent lease assignment from
the dhcp server.

With permanent addresses and permanent parameters for
Xvesa, it would be possible to write a script to boot
directly to the Xterminal. Adding some short scripts
is no problem; however, trying to add functionality
(via additional binaries) is unlikely to work. There
is little flexibility in this hack (it's amazing that
it actually does function as an X terminal).

In the future (if I decide to continue in this direction)
there will be a more flexible option. But that's probably
a couple of months down the track.

Cheers,
Steven
