Booting from TFTP on NetWinder
NetWinders have two network interfaces: The 10Mbps NE2000-compatible
card is eth0 and the 100Mbps Tulip card is
eth1.
You need NeTTrom 2.2.1 or later to boot the
installation system. NeTTrom 2.3.3 is recommended: get these files
from
:
nettrom-2.3-3.armv4l.rpmnettrom-2.3.3.binnettrom-2.3.3.bin.md5sum
After rebooting and interrupting the boot process during the countdown, you
must first configure the network either with a static address:
NeTTrom command-> setenv eth0_ip 192.168.0.10/24
where 24 is the number of set bits in the netmask, or a dynamic address:
NeTTrom command-> boot diskless
You may also need to configure the route1
settings if the TFTP
server is not on the local subnet. The rest of the config is pretty
standard (the save-all step is optional):
NeTTrom command-> setenv kerntftpserver 192.168.0.1
NeTTrom command-> setenv kerntftpfile tftpboot.img
NeTTrom command-> save-all
NeTTrom command-> setenv netconfig_eth0 flash
NeTTrom command-> setenv kernconfig tftp
Only the last two of these interfere with normal disk booting, so it is
safe to save-all right before it, which will
store the network settings in case you need to boot from the network
again. Use the printenv command to review your
environment settings. Finally, if your cmdappend
NeTTrom variable has the option (which is
necessary to boot 2.4 kernels), you must remove it so the downloaded
kernel can boot with its attached ramdisk.
Booting from TFTP on CATS
On CATS machines, use boot de0: or similar at the
Cyclone prompt.
Booting from CD-ROM

To boot a CD-ROM from the Cyclone console prompt, use the command
boot cd0:cats.bin
