Tara, Claudia,

Just FYI. I wanted to point out the only things that work under the
R390/D270 (and similar boxes) are sim700 and serial port - bare minimum
to boot. What's missing from the CD is U2/Uturn support. Bob Pflederer
was able to get U2 support working some time after the CD image was burned.

sim700 DMA happens to work since Richard Hirst made sim700 work
on boxes which are not I/O coherent (eg 715/33) by adding explicit
cache flushing code where needed.

serial doesn't do DMA and thus isn't affected.
But LAN and other GSC/PCI add-on are affected.
