-Strictly speaking, Cobalt does not use TFTP but NFS to boot. You need to
-install an NFS server and put the installer files in
-<filename>/nfsroot</filename>. When you boot your Cobalt, you have to
-press the left and the right cursor buttons at the same time and the
-machine will boot via the network from NFS. It will then display several
-options on the display. There are the following two installation methods:
-
-<itemizedlist>
-<listitem><para>
-
-Via SSH (default): In this case, the installer will configure the network
-via DHCP and start an SSH server. It will then display a random password
-and other login information (such as the IP address) on the Cobalt LCD.
-When you connect to the machine with an SSH client you can start with
-the installation.

-Via serial console: Using a null modem cable, you can connect to the serial
-port of your Cobalt machine (using 115200 bps) and perform the installation
