The problem is that PPCBoot doesn't support the rsh method of booting kernels, so we are stuck w/ tftpboot. We can't use that for our vxworks kernels.
Well, I don't know what VxWorks "rsh method" is, but if it _is_ rsh then you need a full TCP/IP stack, while U-Boot comes just with a minimal subset of UDP.
Why cannot you use TFTP? As it is the more primitive thing to do it should be easier, too...
