I loaded the zImage and initrd.gz into memory using tftp and booted
successfully. It was then loaded into flash, see below.

On reboot Redboot fails to provide an opportunity to drop to a command prompt.
Normally a "+" appears during the 1 second pause. At that point there is a
pause of about 1 second a line feed and there it stops. The instructions for
the update were, I believe, followed verbatim except for the different tftp
source location.

I have seen some reference to Serialboot but am not sure exactly what this is.
Can the unit be forced to load a flash image via the serial line using some
external software? Is this the software or something else? Where can it be
found?

Any other suggestions?
