I am trying to transfer PPCBoot that I had compiled over a tftp session in
the 440GP 1.18 ROM Monitor (02/11/02) that came on the Ebony board.  Is that
the wrong method of trying it?  I tried using both serial ports and Kermit
with Xon/Xoff handshaking, but it just ended up timing out.

I keep getting the error:
  Loading file "C:\ppc\bootp\boot.img" ...
  Sending tftp boot request ...
  Not a valid boot image file

Which stems from an improper magic number at the top of the file to say it's
a valid boot image.
This is not going to work.  You want to program PPCBoot into flash via a
flash programmer or via JTAG.
