[Voyage-linux] pxe-boot from live-cd

[Punky Tse]

Hi Jan,

I didn't look at the syslog before.  Just run the live cd and I see the 
same message in syslog.  But don't be paranoid for syslog message, and I 
would say: it is normal.  You can see tftp is running (see the line with 
tftp):

So, tftp is running, and you are ready for pxe boot.  Just plug you 
board to it, and start the net4826 for netboot.  This should work, and 
ask me again otherwise.  Since the introduction of live cd, I have using 
pxeboot to install voyage on my boards for testing, more than using 
voyage.update.

And try to avoid qemu, as setting up the network interface could be 
difficult.  I mean, you need a some special setup to bridge the guest 
(live cd) and the host so that the board is able to see the live cd 
under qemu.
