There is nothing that appears to allow interruption during boot on the
skypilot custom board.  The Peplink board has a bootloader that you
can interrupt, but it does not use TFTP, but some crazy thing that
delivers an image via ICMP Type 15 packets.  I have a packet dump of
that somewhere.  In any case, when I tried to load an image built with
the PepLink SDK with their image uploader, I got a message that "Block
0 is invalid" or something, so my guess is that SkyPilot modified the
bootloader to look for a magic block.  My guess could be wrong.
