Ok,  I am able to set the CPU clock from a redboot script command,
and pass in mem= on the command line.

I started Looking at the RedBoot Source, and have discovered
that my board has been flashed with an "older" version of RedBoot,  (2.0)
than usually
ships with the Quinque (2.2) , This was done in our other office before they
sent it to me,
because that version was needed by Timesys linux 2.4.7. to boot.
So I am in the process of getting an extra flash chip so that I can back up
what is there,
before I start changing the boot loader.

In the mean time, I have re-extracted  the kernels, re-applied the patches,
and am running with a pure brh_config. And things are looking a bit better.

2.4.21-rmk1-ds0 Still hangs on the PCI bus scan. ( I am still interested in
that next ds patch)
But now  the other kernels will come almost all the way up. (without extra
modification)
2.4.19-rmk7-ds3 and 2.4.6-test2-rmk1-ds1 both come up past the NFS mount,
and then
complain about not being able to open an initial console. I can ping the
box, but I can't telnet into it.

The UARTs are 16C550 and are at the same memory location as in the BRH
board,
The kernel detects this as an ST16654, I am not sure if this is the correct
one?
( I am open for any tips on debugging the UART detection & serial open() )

Here is the boot output so far:

RedBoot> load zImage  -b 0xC0500000 -r
Raw file loaded 0xc0500000-0xc05a734c
RedBoot> go 0xC0500000
