Re: starting Linux through tftp
There is nothing special about creating the tftp image. Just take a
regular kernel and convert it from ELF to a.out format, using the
elftoaout tool.
The (sort of) tricky part is getting the TFTP server to serve it.
I have some related information at:
http://toolbox.rutgers.edu/~amurphy/fai/fai-howto
For help on your question see the sections labeled:
Boot Process Explained,
RARP Config, &
TFTP Config.
The Open Prom can pass along arguments to the kernel.
