Dear Christian Gmeiner,

In some cases the TFTP server provides a bootfile name, which does not expects our requirements. Make it possible to not store the TFTP provided bootfile in the environment.
There is no need to change the code for that. If you don't like the settings provided by your BOOTP (or rather DHCP?) server, then just don't use them. Otherwise we would have to add new options for all data fields the DHCP server could send, and this would grow into a terrible mess.
In your case, just do the following:
=> setenv autostart no => dhcp => tftp $addr $your_file_nameIt is much more efficient to handle such special cases by scripting than adding specialized code for each and every corner case.
I finally found time to incorporate your feedback and everything works as expected.
thanks for your hint -- Christian Gmeiner, MSc
