Oops? What's wrong with just using U-Boot's "tftp" command?

Right. When you use DHCP or BOOTP you ask for  network  configuration
from the server, so this is what you get.

Wrong. You can start in  manually  (using  the  "tftp"  /  "tftpboot"
command,  or  automagically as part of the "rarpboot", "bootp" and/or
"dhcp" commands.

Did you read the PPCBoot guid at our web page? It explains this stuff
pretty well.

Your TFTP server might do a "chroot" into the /tftpboot directory, so
the file "/tftpboot/vmlinux.PPCBoot" cannot be found there.

Fix yout TFTP server configuration.
