326    On the Broadcom BCM91250A evaluation board, you have to load the SiByl boot
327    loader via TFTP which will then load and start the Debian installer.  In
328    most cases, you will first obtain an IP address via DHCP but it is also
329    possible to configure a static address.  In order to use DHCP, you can
330    enter the following command on the CFE prompt:
331    
332    <informalexample><screen>
333    
334    ifconfig eth0 -auto
335    
336    </screen></informalexample>
337    
338    Once you have obtained an IP address, you can load SiByl with the following
339    command:
340    
341    <informalexample><screen>
342    
343    boot 192.168.1.1:/boot/sibyl
344    
345    </screen></informalexample>
346    
347    You need to substitute the IP address listed in this example with either
348    the name or the IP address of your TFTP server.  Once you issue this
349    command, the installer will be loaded automatically.
