I've never played with the pmon version available on yeelong but I've
some stl2f platforms where I can boot on network. The real problem is
about your definition of "booting from network". If you're talking of
PXE, then it's not supported. Otherwise, one can try something like :
- Install a tftp server
- On pmon prompt, use :
PMON> ifaddr <iface> <ip>
(iface can be obtained with devls)
PMON> load tftp://<tftp server ip>/path/to/vmlinux
PMON> initrd tftp://<tftp server ip>/path/to/initrd
PMON> g <kernel parameters>
If all went well, your kernel should be booting now.
