Hi James, Thanks for the reply. The ROACHes at the observatory are netbooted, and I do not have an SD card for booting, so would have to create one. I suppose I could clone the uboot system from the observatory to campus and try to set up tftp etc. -- that is pretty much what I intended to do using the instructions I had linked to, but my question is whether there are new instructions somewhere that I should use. It seems the answer is no, so I will proceed with the old instructions.
