tftpboot & loadderdev (1 reply)

Here is my latest attempt to boot a recently built version of FreeBSD/ARM for the GoFlex Home using tftpboot:-

This manages to run the FreeBSD boot loader, but I'm missing a couple of steps.

It seems that it is expecting a variable called loaderdev, so maybe I should have setenv loaderdev net0 or somesuch.
Still can't work out how to point ubldr.bin to kernel... would that be via DHCP using the filename and root-path options ?
