Hi Alec and Paul, I should have said, I'm booting from NFS. I see that on https://github.com/ska-sa/roach2_nfs_uboot, the romfs and uImage is much newer than boot/tcpborphserver3, which is what I copied into $NFS_PATH/usr/local/sbin/. So, an updated tcpborphserver3 that works for netboot would be helpful.
