You can include an argument, filename, to specify a file to be booted over the network using the Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP). The local device (see the description of b device following) can be specified by typing the device specifier (devid). If the specified device name is not recognized by the ROM monitor, the system will attempt to boot the image (imagename) from a network TFTP server. Do not insert a space between devid and imagename.
