Re: Can't tftpboot my Netwinder...

Yeah, something is wrong with your network
settings or something. It can't find/get the
file. Set the eth0 to "flash" and make sure you
can tftp the file from the server locally too.

Maybe look at your route1 settings too.

The "tftp not supported" is misleading, there
is just something misconfigured is all.
