Boot up a Linux kernel from an SD card
Boot
Kexec
Kexec is a kernel extension/patch that permits to load another kernel than the
one which is running at the moment.
I never used it, but i know that some guys use it for their zaurus to boot on
SD.
Uboot
Uboot is a boot loader. It can boot on SD.
I've used it for my zaurus to boot up Debian GNU/Linux Armel on SD.
I believe some tweaks are needed for it to work, on the zaurus: root=, MTD
specific parameters…
It does work anyway, with already compiled kernels: angstrom, poky, contributed
ones…

sharp boot loader
It seems to be possible to boot up a linux kernel on SD from the sharp zaurus bootloader. Read the OSEF forum to find any tip.
