Dear Denk,
Q1:
Both 5.9.5.1 ( http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootCmdGroupDownload#Section_5.9.5.1. ) and 5.9.5.6 ( http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/UBootCmdGroupDownload#Section_5.9.5.6. ) talk about booting image via network, but there are only few lines of description about these commands. I don't know which one I should use, tftpboot or bootp? And, for each one, what's the requirement on server side? I've done works described in 4.6, 4.7, 4.8 to setup the server, but I don't sure which one ( tftp, dhcp, nfs ) will really be used.
Q2:
in 9.6.3 ( Root File System on a cramfs File System ), the manual taught how to make a root filesystem image (cramfs), but in the installation ISO, i dont find necessary files rootfs.tar.gz and devices.tar.gz mentioned in the instructions. Where should I get them? On the other hand, after installed the eldk, I've already got a root filesystem in /installation/path/arm, so i think it will be very good building a root filesystem image from this directory, but in the manual, I dont find instructios telling me how.
Thank you very much.

The manual is not so clear. I want to boot from a remote image and mount remote root filesystem. It seems i've done the server side setup respecting to the manual, but for u-boot usage ( target side ) to do this, i am not so clear. Would anyone please show me simple steps? Thanks in advance.
Maybe you can point out which parts of the manual are not clear enough, so that we can improve the documentation?
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
