[U-Boot-Users] Booting Linux Kernel Image from NFS Server

[joemama]

Have a Ubuntu PC hosted NFS server that contains a Linux Kernel Image.  I
have an Atmel target board connected to the PC via ethernet.  What should I
set the U-Boot environment variables to to allow me to boot the kernel image
into the target board?

Relevant Info:
Address of NFS server: 192.168.2.250
Location of image: /home/joe/nfs
Name of image: uImage

Thanks

For clarification, what do you mean by 'Linux Kernel Image'?  Is it just 
a kernel, or a kernel + some kind of init file system (initrd etc.) or a 
file system that you want to use over NFS?  If it's one of the first 
two, you'd be better served by TFTP.
