34    
35    On the Broadcom BCM91250A evaluation board, you have to load the SiByl boot
36    loader via TFTP which will then load and start the Debian installer.  In
37    most cases, you will first obtain an IP address via DHCP but it is also
38    possible to configure a static address.  In order to use DHCP, you can
39    enter the following command on the CFE prompt:
40    
41    <informalexample><screen>
42    
43    ifconfig eth0 -auto
44    
45    </screen></informalexample>
46    
47    Once you have obtained an IP address, you can load SiByl with the following
48    command:
49    
50    <informalexample><screen>
51    
52    boot 192.168.1.1:/boot/sibyl
53    
54    </screen></informalexample>
55    
56    You need to substitute the IP address listed in this example with either
57    the name or the IP address of your TFTP server.  Once you issue this
58    command, the installer will be loaded automatically.
