Are there instructions out there for using tftpboot to download an image with an initrd automatically boot the image? I haven't come across anything.
That's because it's just trivial:
=> tftp 400000 /tftpboot/uImage.multi ; bootm
I am trying it with a simple tftpboot command (no options) and it appears as though the ramdisk is not loading to a good address because the system lock up after uncompressing the initrd at 0x91544054 (not a valid address in my system.)
OIt would have been really, really useful if you had bothered to provide some more details, like the exact output of the failing command. SO I can just guess that your load address is too low, and you are overwriting parts of the image when the Linux kernel gets uncompressed.
