[U-Boot-Users] Booting Linux Kernel Image from NFS Server

Have a Ubuntu PC hosted NFS server that contains a Linux Kernel Image. I have an Atmel target board connected to the PC via ethernet. What should I set the U-Boot environment variables to to allow me to boot the kernel image into the target board?
Relevant Info: Address of NFS server: 192.168.2.250 Location of image: /home/joe/nfs Name of image: uImage
Thanks

For clarification, what do you mean by 'Linux Kernel Image'? Is it just a kernel, or a kernel + some kind of init file system (initrd etc.) or a file system that you want to use over NFS? If it's one of the first two, you'd be better served by TFTP.
