One needs to add more parameters. For instance : load -v -r -b 0x01800000 -m tftp /initrd.gz load -v -r -b 0x01008000 -m tftp /vmlinuz-2.6.30-2-iop32x For details about the parameters, see : http://ecos.sourceware.org/docs-latest/redboot/download-command.html Before doing that, you have to make sure that: - network is enabled and working by pinging it from an other system (you may have to use the ip_address command). - the addresses used are the right ones (look at the boot logs, they should appear in it). Once you've looked at that and loaded initrd/kernel, use the exec command to boot your system. Arnaud -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
