Can you tell me those some addresses and some other addresses? How much

tftprescue.img working - see below).

There is no way to do that, you have to get either initrd working, or
compile the required modules into the kernel.

Grab the most recent tftprescue.img, it should not fail horribly (I assume
you don't have it, as it should not print the copy messages).
