Ah, OK.

The DNS-323 guys are a lot further along, so they have full OS replacement
images.  I was reading that as "this is to replace your OS", but it is
optional and a separate "package".

The only real issue now is that some of the stuff build with Debian ARM seems
to cause illegal opcode errors on the Hammer unit.

I hope that doesn't mean that the Hammer's newer CPU is slightly
incompatible.

Anyway, I don't have time to do this now anyway, have to play this weekend.

I really need to start a wiki for Hammer Hacking.  Anyone willing to host it?
