Re: Ultralinux tftp boot on an SS2?

[Randy McCaskill <rmccask@comm-data.com>]

I did it over a month ago without any real problems.  I used my pc
(running linux of course) for the tftp server.  I will check if the image
I used is still in my tftp directory when I get home.  If it is, I will
upload it where you can get it.

I also think I remember someone having a problem with not having enough
memory to unpack the ramdisk or something like that so you may want to see
if you can borrow some memory as a test if you don't have a lot.
