(this really belongs on the ppcboot list...)

You can do arbitrarily complicated things in the ppcboot 'bootcmd'
argument.  In your case:

  setenv bootcmd tftp 100000 pImage\; tftp 300000 initrd\; bootm 100000
300000

If your bootcmd variable gets too long, ppcboot will complain - then you
just have to do something like:

  setenv bootcmd run first_half\; run second_half
  setenv first_half command\; command\; ...
  setenv second_half ...

Hi, all

I am using ppcboot to start my 8260 based card. At the moment, we load Linux
kernel via tftp and then start it. Linux kernel maps its root file system
over the network. This works fine qith ppcboot autoboot feature.

Now, we want to put initial RAM disk into RAM as well as compressed kernel.
Do do that, both images have to be copied into card's memory using tftp and
them bootm command will be used with two arguments to start kernel.

To continue to use ppcboot autoboot feature we have to pass two commands as
boot command (to tftp two kernels) and then issue bootm command with two
arguments. Is there any way of doing it without altering the ppcboot source
code?

Thanks,
