Yeah, but I'm not loading uboot over the network. Just the kernel and file system. Plus that is a guide using Ubuntu for which my instructions wont work on. As I used Debian.
One curious thing however, and perhaps I am wrong for loading uboot via a network. I do not use or need a dhcp server for my instructions, and am thinking a dhcp server is not necessary if you use static IP's. But I am not 100% sure where, or how uboot would get its IP from if you're loading it via network. Anyhow, having multiple dhcp servers on the same network can cause problems which may be difficult to trace down. Even if they are technically on different subnets, Hence why I do not use a BOOTP/DHCP server.
