Netboot problems

Hello TINIworld,

I've been trying to get netboot to work reliably.  What I seem to have 
found is that netboot works fine when the FLASH is erased and works fine 
if the contents of the FLASH match what's coming from the tftp server 
(i.e. you're programming the FLASH with exactly the same info).  If the 
info is different then the netboot fails.  This suggests to me that the 
netboot routines in the B1 DS80C400 ROM don't erase the FLASH properly 
before trying to program it.  Can anyone confirm if this is the case?  
If so, is there a work around?  We'd been planning on using netboot to 
do firmware upgrades in the field, but there's not much point if you can 
only program the board with what it's already got.

Mark.
