where 24 is the number of set bits in the netmask, or a dynamic address:
<informalexample><screen>
- NeTTrom command-&gt; boot diskless
+ NeTTrom command-&gt; setenv netconfig_eth0 dhcp
</screen></informalexample>

-server is not on the local subnet. The rest of the config is pretty

+settings if the TFTP server is not on the local subnet.
+
+Following these settings, you have to specify the TFTP server and the
+location of the image. You can then store your settings to flash.
<informalexample><screen>
NeTTrom command-&gt; setenv kerntftpserver 192.168.0.1
NeTTrom command-&gt; setenv kerntftpfile boot.img
NeTTrom command-&gt; save-all
- NeTTrom command-&gt; setenv netconfig_eth0 flash
+</screen></informalexample>
+
+Now you have to tell the firmware that the TFTP image should be booted:
+
+<informalexample><screen>
NeTTrom command-&gt; setenv kernconfig tftp
NeTTrom command-&gt; setenv rootdev /dev/ram
- NeTTrom command-&gt; setenv cmdappend root=/dev/ram

-Only the last four of these interfere with normal disk booting, so it is
-safe to issue <command>save-all</command> right before them, which will
-store the network settings in case you need to boot from the network
-again.

-Use the <command>printenv</command> command to review your

+
+Note that the tool also shows the MAC address of your NSLU2, which may come
+in handy to configure your DHCP server. After the whole image has been
+written and verified, the system will automatically reboot. Make sure you
+connect your USB disk again now, otherwise the installer won't be able to
