hi,
I am doing a platform porting for xycom 654 board. I built the floppy
image. By the way xycom board is like a pc board with pci bus and etc.
"like" a PC? This could well be the source of your problems! Have you
tried the image on a "normal" PC to check it works at all?
While I am trying to boot the redboot with the floppy, there appears some
dots(.) while the floppy LED is glowing. then after some time it just
stops. Nothing is appearing like redboot prompt. I assume the booting
fails in the middle. It's not getting the stage of redboot prompt.
It could be at the point where it's finished loading and redboot is
starting, and perhaps probing the PCI bus. Any differences between this
board and a true PC could cause problems then.

That's right.
