[psas-software] First boot of the PowerPC flight computer

[Andrew Greenberg]

I couldn't wait until next week to boot the new PPC FC because I have to 
write a, er, "note" to the MEN folks about the state of the development kit 
we received. So I booted it. Fun! Here's the output:

Interesting, huh? According to the BIOS, on boot it tries to boot VxWorks 
via TFTP, which is amusing... you can see it fail above. So, apparently 
someone has been playing with the board before us (which we already new 
based on the "PROTOTYP" sticker, I suppose).

They turned on the watchdog timer for us, which is nice, since it tends to 
reboot the system every 10 seconds or so, and I haven't figured out how to 
turn it off yet :)

Anyway, one small step for PPC kind.
