You can use altboot's interactive mode. For 2 seconds it will display
the line:

  Hit any key to enter interactive mode: 2..1..0

Now you press a key and altboot shows a prompt:

  bootargs>

To boot a kernel from TFTP you would enter:

  bootargs> tftp:my_kernel

Or just "tftp:", which will boot a kernel called "netbsd" by default.
Remember that you also need a DHCP server, which will provide an address
for the MAC address of your NAS.


Once your NAS is installed and configured, it is sufficient to let U-Boot
run altboot with default arguments (i.e. no arguments). This makes
altboot load the "netbsd" kernel from wd0a and starts the system in
multiuser mode.
