# apt-get install nfs-kernel-server tftpd xinetd

Setup TFTP
# vi /etc/xinetd.d/tftp

service tftp
{
protocol        = udp
port            = 69
socket_type     = dgram

}

# mkdir /tftpboot
# cp ../vmlinux-7250-ts11.bin /tftpboot/

# service xinetd restart


Setup NFS
# mkdir /export
# vi /etc/exports

/export       192.168.0.0/24(rw,fsid=0,insecure,no_subtree_check,async)

# tar xvjf tslinux-08-24-2006.tar.bz2 -C /export/
# cp tslinux-08-24-2006.tar.bz2 /export/


# service nfs-kernel-server restart

Load Kernel from TFTP and write it to flash

RedBoot> load -r -b 0x00218000 -h 192.168.0.1 vmlinux-7250-ts11.bin
RedBoot> fis delete vmlinux
RedBoot> fis create -b 0x00218000 -l 0x144000 vmlinux
RedBoot> fconfig
Run script at boot: true[ENTER]
Boot script: 
.. fis load vmlinux
.. exec -c "console=ttyAM1,115200 root=/dev/mtdblock1"
Enter script, terminate with empty line
>> fis load vmlinux[ENTER]
>> exec -c "console=ttyAM0,115200 root=/dev/mtdblock1"[ENTER]
>> [ENTER]
...
Update RedBoot non-volatile configuration - continue (y/n)? y[ENTER]

Use that loaded kernel to boot with root file system from NFS

RedBoot> exec -c "console=ttyAM0,115200 ip=192.168.0.50 nfsroot=192.168.0.1:/export"

The system should bootup fine. Login using root (no password)

mount -t yaffs /dev/mtdblock/1 /mnt
rm -rf /mnt/*
tar xvjf /tslinux-08-24-2006.tar.bz2 -C /mnt

RedBoot> exec -c "console=ttyAM0,115200 ip=192.168.0.50 root=/dev/mtdblock1"




Done.
