Bob,
I tried this and it worked:
=> setenv bootcmd tftp 01000000 uImage.multi; setenv bootargs root=/dev/r am rw console=ttyS0,38400; bootm 01000000 => boot
(adapt it for your board... remember to saveenv before boot if you want it to persist)
I actually wished there was a way to obtain IP etc. config from dhcp server without booting. That way I could have more control the image to boot from u-boot environment. It could also allow me to quickly enable network access when dhcp server is available on the network for testing etc.
Best regards, Tolunay
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.
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.)
