Once that is set up it's easy to set uboot to netboot as well, I can help with that. Just for interest what happened was that by running tftpuboot, a macro was run that expects the uboot image to be served via tftp. The macro is pretty dumb, so if the file is not there it erases the flash anyway. But if you set up as per the instructions all of this is pretty straightforward to fix.
