Because of the way bootldr manages dram and the small amount of dram on
the h3100, it is not possible to install opie using 'load root'.

If you have a CF card and sleeve, you can put the opie image onto a vfat
partition and install it from there:

  boot> copy hda1:bootopie-v0.7.1-h3100.jffs2 root

Otherwise, install the bootstrap image, get your ipaq on a network of
some sort, and do the following to install it:

  echo 'src opie http://opie.handhelds.org/feed/ipaq/1.0' >
/etc/ipkg/opie.conf
  ipkg update
  ipkg install task-opie

Hope this helps,
