Hi Satish,

Building Linux on embedded devices (ARM, MIPS etc) is quite a different 
ballgame to Intel I am coming to understand myself.

You can't use grub. There are a few embedded bootloaders around, Google 
is your friend... http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=embedded+bootloader+linux

Here are a few more links that might help:

Hope I'm not teaching you to suck eggs.

Also, I haven't got as a far you yet, I've just been reading quite a 
bit... I am about to try and build a small distro for a Chinese MIPS 
clone: The Xburst400.
