Again: What's the use of setting autoload to "n"?
The doc says:
autoload
if set to "no" (any string beginning with 'n'), the rarpb, bootp or dhcp commands will just perform a configuration lookup from the BOOTP / DHCP server, but not try to load any image using TFTP.
I thought it's to get the settings from a DHCP server without immediately loading a file, so I can use the settings (IP, server ip etc) for something else, e.g. tftp'ing an FPGA file or ppcboot (ehm sorry U-Boot) image.
Seems you think right. Ummmm... why are you asking? Any problems with it?
Best regards,
