i can see how configuring the kernel can be just like any other 2.6 kernel but

how do you load the kernel into the target. are there a few commands that you

can list that i need to use.

it is documented in the quickstart guide somewhere

but for loading the kernel 

$ nios2-download -g vmlinux

Still haven't figured out (or had the time basically) how to restart a restart a running kernel. I have some faint memories of reading something along those lines, but current, I'm basically porting embedded ppc firmware to the board.
