Dear Richard,

So, the patch I applied allows me to use the global dhcp server which I can ONLY ask address of, to give a valid address, and my environment variables allow resolution of my tftpserver and bootfile name. and all in one command.
OK, but this does not answer my question:
If I understand you correctly, you want to use DHCP to configure the network interface, yet download by TFTP from a different server. Did you thy something like this:
=> setenv my_bootfile "/tftpboot/foo" => setenv my_tftpserver XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX => saveenv
=> setenv autoload no => dhcp => setenv serverip $(my_tftpserver) => tftp 200000 $(my_bootfile)
Doesn't this work for you?
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
